| description | IntroductionOrganizational citizenship behavior (OCB) plays a crucial role in fostering the continuous growth and development of organizations. This essay aligns with the current labor force structure changes resulting from population aging, focusing on exploring the relationship between age diversity and multi-level OCB.MethodsA multi-level moderation model was employed to collect data from 882 employees across 87 groups of Chinese state-owned enterprises. Linear regression and hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) were used to test the hypotheses.ResultsThe findings of this study indicate that (1) leader-member exchange (LMX) moderates the negative effect of age diversity on group-level organizational citizenship behavior (GOCB); (2) team-member exchange (TMX) moderates the negative relationships between age diversity and individual-level organizational citizenship behavior toward organizations (OCBO) and organizational citizenship behavior toward individuals (OCBI).ConclusionThe empirical study carries substantial implications for future discourse on human resource practices (HRPs) and research pertaining to population aging within organizational contexts. |
