“…Boyd, Nowell, Yang, and Hano () examined the extent to which SOC and SOC‐R were associated with employee well‐being and engagement in public service employment settings, finding that SOC‐R was a better predictor of organizational citizenship behaviors, whereas SOC had a stronger association with job satisfaction. Similar findings were presented by Boyd and Nowell (), which confirmed that SOC and SOC‐R were distinct constructs, and SOC‐R more strongly predicted organizational citizenship behavior, whereas SOC had a stronger association with employee well‐being.…”

Research on sense of community (SOC) has traditionally been approached from a resource perspective. Recently, however, research on the experience of SOC has evolved to include a related but distinct construct of sense of community responsibility (SOC-R), or feelings of accountability for the well-being of a community. This study applied item response theory to examine the psychometric properties of a SOC-R scale used in an evaluation of community-based substance abuse prevention coalitions. Data were collected in 2017 from coalition members (analytic sample = 309) in the northeastern United States. Findings indicate that the scale was reliable, unidimensional, and functioned well, particularly at low and moderate levels of the construct. The addition of two items intended to capture higher levels of the construct improved the scale's functioning at higher levels of SOC-R. The adapted SOC-R scale was also shown to have moderately strong relationships with conceptually relevant variables, including SOC, coalition participation, number of roles performed in the coalition, and engagement in community action activities. These findings provide empirical evidence to support the reliability and validity of the SOC-R scale, and have critical implications for our conceptualization of the SOC construct, its measurement, and for the evaluation of community-based prevention interventions.

“…Given the efficacy of SOC‐R as an important and useful community experience construct, the current study tests if SOC‐R measures can be cross‐validated in the Italian context, and tests whether SOC‐R measures reveal adequate convergent and discriminant validity with SOC and other key correlates and outcomes. As stated above, according to the Community Experience Model (Boyd & Nowell, 2017; Nowell & Boyd, 2014), key correlates and outcomes of SOC‐R are well‐being, satisfaction, and community engagement and participation. In the next paragraphs, we will discuss the role of other potential key correlates and outcomes of SOC‐R that have not been investigated in the literature.…”

The central aim of the present research was to examine the psychometric properties of adapted versions of the sense of community (SOC) responsibility scale in three Italian samples. We examined the psychometric properties of three modified versions of the sense of community responsibility (SOC‐R) scale. Consistent with the original scale, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses demonstrated that the scale was unidimensional and exhibited excellent internal consistency. In addition, factor analyses revealed that SOC responsibility and SOC are two separate, albeit related, constructs. The results also provided evidence of the discriminant validity of SOC and SOC‐R on key outcomes. Taken together, these results provide support for the Community Experience Model, which posits that community experiences are a function of resource and responsibility components, as well as for the adaptable nature of the SOC‐R scale to the Italian context.

“…The weakening of organizational identification will reduce miners' sense of responsibility in safeguarding the overall interests of the group and the organization [73], and subsequently result in decreasing OCB that is conducive to the safe operation of coal mining enterprises [74]. For instance, miners will not sacrifice their free time to demonstrate individual-level OCB such as extra occupational training.…”

This study theorized and examined the effect of performance appraisal purposes on miners’ organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) via organizational identification. Survey data from 700 miners in state-owned Chinese coal mine enterprises were analyzed using multiple regression and bootstrap sampling. Results indicated that both developmental purpose of the performance appraisal and evaluative purpose of the performance appraisal had positive effects on overall OCB and its four dimensions via organizational identification. Furthermore, developmental purpose of the performance appraisal had a stronger relationship with overall OCB and its four dimensions than evaluative purpose of the performance appraisal. This study provides practical guidance to assist Chinese and even Asian coal mining enterprises in deciding how to motivate miners’ OCB through improving a performance appraisal system and how to strengthen miners’ organizational identification.
