An analysis of organization-based self-esteem as a mediator of the relationship between its antecedents and consequences

This paper examines the ways in which organization-based self-esteem mediates the relationship between its antecedents and conaequences. A model incorporating these antecedents and consequences is presented. The process of testing this model in the cases of two Korean banks is then explained. The research findings show that organization-based self-esteem partially mediates between its antecedents and consequences. That is , job complexity, participatory management, and role clarity. Job security concern, organizational tenure, and gender appear to be the key antecedents of organization-based self-esteem. Which in turn has an impact on the components of organizational citizenship behavior.
