Abstract

Drawing upon self-consistency and affective events theories, we test a model that social comparisons have motivational and affective consequences that lead to organizational citizenship behaviours (OCB). Data collected from a diary study are consistent with our hypotheses that social comparisons are linked to OCB through both motivational and affective channels.
