Personal Relationships: The Effect on Employee Attitudes, Behavior, and Well-being

We know that positive, fulfilling and satisfying relationships are strong predictors of life satisfaction, psychological health, and physical well-being. This edited volume uses research and theory on the need to belong as a foundation to explore various types of relationships, with an emphasis on the influence of these relationships on employee attitudes, behaviors and well-being. The book will consider a wide range of relationships that may affect work attitudes, specifically, supervisory, co-worker, team, customer and non- work relationships. The study of relationships spans many sub areas within I/O psychology and Social Psychology, specifically leadership, supervision, mentoring, work-related social support, work teams, bullying/interpersonal deviance and work/non work interface.
