| Summary: | 博士 === 國立中央大學 === 企業管理研究所 === 98 === Interdependence among group members prevails in contemporary organizations. Group member’s affective state and interaction has become an important issue that interests organizational behavior scholars. This study investigated the mechanism of group cohesion in the relationship between both task interdependence and goal interdependence and individuals’ organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). A multilevel perspective was adopted to?investigate the complex relationships among variables. Data were collected from 53 supervisors and 270 employees from the R&D departments in Taiwan. It is found that group cohesion fully mediated the effects of task interdependence and goal interdependence on employees’ OCB. In addition, task interdependence had a greater effect on group cohesion than did goal interdependence. Implications and suggestions for future research are discussed.
