Abstract: We develop a framework to study the effects of emotional support in the relationship between psychological strain and affective organisational commitment in different cultural contexts. Based on the job demands-resources model and conservation of resources theory, we hypothesise that employees' emotional support and in-group collectivism orientation jointly moderate the relationship between psychological strain and affective organisational commitment. We tested the hypothesis on a sample of 2,702 respondents from eight different countries: Germany, India, Indonesia, Poland, South Korea, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, and the USA. The results highlight the roles of emotional support and in-group collectivism in employees' responses to psychological strain.

Keywords: job demands-resources model; conservation of resources theory; emotional support; psychological strain; in-group collectivism; affective organisational commitment. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
