摘要：

This field study investigated the moderating influence of role definitions on the association between safety climate and employees' organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). Data were obtained from 94 hospital nurse dyads. Focal nurses and their peers completed paper surveys. All predictor measures were self-reported; whereas the OCB ratings were provided by nurses' peers. Nurses' perceptions of job requirements regarding OCB (i.e., OCB-specific role definitions) moderated the relationship between psychological safety climate and peer-rated OCB. The correlation between psychological safety climate and OCB was significant when nurses' role definitions were narrow but non-existent when role definitions were broad. This study links managerial commitment to safety to nurses' pro-social behavior and identifies an important boundary condition. The link between safety climate and safety compliance has been firmly established. We investigated a less well-researched association between safety and OCB and proposed a theoretical foundation for this positive association.
