Abstract
Regarding collegiality as a central element in todays globalized work environment, we provide insight into its influence in enhancing co-worker relationship quality. Utilizing social exchange theory to examine how interpersonal factors influence co-worker relationship quality among a group of 346 white-collar employees, we find that although co-worker commitment positively influences co-worker relationship quality, there is no indication that coworker-trustworthiness has a direct effect on co-worker relationship quality. Our findings suggest that the importance of trustworthiness in the workplace may have been overestimated. Our work therefore suggests that co-worker commitment appears to be the central construct contributing to better co-worker relationships.
