Abstract
This paper suggests that motives for engaging in affiliative-promotive “helping” extra-role behavior is related to cross-cultural differences. The cultural dimensions of in-group collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, performance orientation, and humane orientation, and their differential effect on helping extra-role behavior in a diverse workforce are examined. Theoretical implications provide guidance for future empirical research in this area, and provide managers with more realistic expectations of employee performance in the workplace.
