Citations in the corpus

• Utility of OCB (2012, background): “Group-level OCB represents group members’ shared expectations about citizenship behavior and potentially regulates social interaction and influences social identity (Ehrhart et al., 2006), making it distinct from individual-level OCB.”
• Organizational Citizenship Behavior and Performance (2009, methodology): “Group-level OCB can regulate social interaction and influence social identity (Ehrhart et al., 2006), so it is potentially distinct from individual-level OCB.”
• How low does ethical leadership flow? Test of a trickle-down model (2009, background): “Finally, studies examining OCB as a group-level construct typically use the helping dimension of OCB (Ehrhart, 2004; Ehrhart et al., 2006).”
• Collective Dynamics of Citizenship Behaviour: What Group Characteristics Promote Group-Level Helping? (2009, unknown): “This confirms the theoretical argument that GOCB reflects the dynamics of the entire group and is thus distinct from individual OCB (Bommer et al., 2007; Ehrhart et al., 2006; Yun et al., 2007).”
• Consequences of unit-level organizational citizenship behaviors: A review and recommendations for future research (2014, methodology): “Some studies (e.g., Ehrhart et al., 2006; Lin & Peng, 2010; Nishii et al., 2008; Podsakoff, Ahearne, & MacKenzie, 1997; Podsakoff, MacKenzie, 1994; Yu & Cable, 2011) have examined the relationships between individual OCB dimensions (e.g. altruism, conscientiousness, civic virtue, and sportsmanship)…”
• Challenging the Norm of Self-Interest: Minority Influence and Transitions to Helping Norms in Work Units (2012, background): “For example, some work units frequently provide assistance in times of need, whereas others focus more narrowly on individual tasks (e.g., Bommer, Miles, & Grover, 2003; Ehrhart et al., 2006; Podsakoff et al., 2000).”
