Background: Use of online communities for knowledge generation has become a common phenomenon. In order for online communities to serve as affective spaces for knowledge generation and exchange, members need to behave in ways that are in line with good citizenship. However, because of the limited research, not much is known about citizenship behaviour in such communities and the factors that foster such conduct.Objectives: This article aims to examine the performance of citizenship behaviours by members of online customer communities, and the factors that influence this.Methodology: Data were collected from 303 contributing members of online customer communities using a structured questionnaire. Structural equation modelling was used to analyse the data collected.Results: The findings show moderate levels of engagement in citizenship behaviours among the respondents. Engagement in citizenship behaviours was in general found to be influenced more by the level of affective commitment towards the community than by the perceived levels of social support. Both affective commitment and perceived social support were found to have less influence on compliant citizenship behaviour when compared with altruism and personal initiative. Affective commitment was found to influence personal initiative most strongly, while social support had its strongest influence on altruism. Conclusion: The results provide insights for managers of online customer communities into factors to which they should give attention in order to enhance the performance of citizenship behaviours.

The Relationship

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine associations between career commitment, job stress, and work-related dimensions of work routinization, role clarity, social support, and promotional opportunity. Design/methodology/approach – In all, 408 employees holding supervisor or above level job positions in Sri Lanka responded to the survey. For the data analysis, structural equation modelling with maximum likelihood estimation was performed. Findings – Job stress fully mediates the relationship between role clarity and career commitment while partially mediates the relationships between work routinization, social support, and the lack of promotional opportunity and career commitment. Originality/value – An investigation into relationships between work-related dimensions and career commitment holds a number of implications in the current business environment where employee commitment may be shifting from the organization to one’s career.

The Impact

Perceived organizational support and perceived social support affect individual performance. Their influence may or may not be the same depending on the situation. This study describes the different effects of perceived organizational support and perceived social support on organizational satisfaction and social life satisfaction. Furthermore, it proves that perceived organizational support and perceived social support enhance the organizational (school) satisfaction and social life (life of studying abroad) satisfaction of international students. On addition, through this process, they also increase the career commitment of students. This paper identifies the importance of perceived organizational support and perceived social support necessary to improve the international students' performance, and explain the impact and relevance of their different satisfactions. Through this, this article proposes ways to improve the performance of international students and the discriminatory relevance of perceptions of different objects.

In this paper, we explore how the frequency of utilization of social supports is related to teacherdemographics, stress factors, job satisfaction, career intent, career commitment, and theperception of a stigma attached to teacher stress. Using data from self-report questionnaires(N= 264) from teachers in northern Ontario, we found that teachers seldom spoke to their healthcare providers about stress and instead utilized family, friends, fellow teachers, and sometimestheir principals. The frequency of which teachers accessed different social support networks didvary depending on stressor (workload, student behaviour, professional relationships, societalattitudes, and employment conditions). Teachers who frequently talked to their friends aboutstress had a lower sense of career intent and career commitment. Males were less likely to talkto their various social supports about stress. This study adds to the literature by exploring thefrequency of contact with and usage of social supports and their impact on teacher stress andperspectives on teaching.
