A Moderating Role of Network Embeddedness in the Relationship Between ICT Personnel’s Attitude and Behavior in the Korean Cultural Contex

This study, using samples of four different ICT Chaebol companies, shows how the perceptions of organisational justice predict OCB in the ICT context and how such relationships react with Korean cultural features. Additionally, employees’ interactional justice accounted for significantly more variance in OCB than did procedural justice or distributive justice. This study found that expanding this relational model, perceived network embeddedness was taken as a moderating variable which might influence the relationship between interactional justice dimensions and OCB. The study extends the dyadic relationship perspective of social exchange theory and the academic area of organisational justice and OCB outside the Western region. Moreover, since cultural features and management literature indicated that employees from diverse cultural backgrounds and social values would have diverse expectations and value systems and have different work attitudes and perceptions, the findings may contribute to the diffusion of literature which indicate that understanding cultural values and its reflection is crucial in investigating employees’ perceptions and OCB intentions in organizational settings.
