The Double-Edged Sword Effect of Upward Mobility on Employee Interpersonal Citizenship Behavior
Drawing on social information processing theory,this study explores the double-edged sword effect of upward mobility on employee interpersonal citizenship behavior through the secondary data from the Chinese General Social Survey,the survey data from 275 Chinese workers,and the ex-perimental data from 310 workers in China,including the dual-path mechanism of resilience and per-ceived uncertainty about the future and the moderating role of mobility degree.The results show that upward mobility not only has a positive effect on employees'resilience,which improves interpersonal citizenship behavior,but also has a positive effect on perceived uncertainty about the future,which re-duces interpersonal citizenship behavior.The degree of upward mobility moderates the effects of up-ward mobility such that a higher level of mobility degree strengthens the positive effects of upward mobility on resilience and perceived uncertainty about the future.
