• Opening the Black Box of I-Deals Negotiation: Integrating I-Deals and Negotiation Research

  Group & Organization Management · 2021 · 37 citations

  Individualized work arrangements (“i-deals”) negotiated by employees are increasingly common in contemporary employment.

This study builds theory and helps to resolve the helping and performance dilemma by exploring the conditions under which individual job performance is enhanced for team members who frequently help others. A cross-level and time-lagged design was used to collect data f…
