Abstract | [Abstract]: This study assessed the impact of informal social support on job satisfaction, morale, and distress. A 41-item measure of informal team processes as well as a 50-item measure of organisational climate was administered to 38 participants from two organisations. These data were used to test whether informal social support could add to the prediction of the three outcomes. Using hierarchical multiple regression, social support was found to uniquely predict 13% of the variation in morale, after controlling for organisational climate. The proportion of variance accounted in distress and job satisfaction was negligible. |
