Explaining cohesion linkages in workgroups: the cooperative communication in collectivism and high power distance workgroup context

This study develops a multi-level model to advance research on how cultural context in workplace moderates the relationship between cooperative communication and group cohesion in a collectivist workplace setting. We tested the model by using hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) with the data obtained...
