How Ethical Leadership Shapes the Impact of Workplace Friendships on Emotional Culture of Joy and Job Performance

Abstract/Description

Many Scholars have called for more research on the role of friendships in the workplace so that their effects are better understood (Ferris et al., 2009; Methot et al., 2015; Pillemer and Rothbard, 2018). Workplace friendships have been called as a hot research topic and double edged sword in organizational management (Lee & Duffy, 2019; Wang et al, 2022) and given its conflicting nature and lack of consensus on the effects of its role on personal and organizational perspectives, this research seeks to provide answers to the debate through empirical research on the effects of Workplace Friendships on Job Performance and understand underlying mechanism by introducing the variable emotional culture of joy, and a boundary condition in ethical leadership.
