    Dear colleagues,

    Please accept my apologies for cross-posting. 

    We are looking for unpublished papers examining relationships between organizational cynicism (defined below) and its antecedents, consequences, and correlates. If you have such papers and are willing to share them, please email me directly at lclomeli@gmail.com. Thank you very much in advance.

    Organizational cynicism is "a negative attitude toward one's employing organization, comprising three dimensions: (1) a belief that the organization lacks integrity; (2) negative affect toward the organization; and (3) tendencies to disparaging and critical behaviors toward the organization that are consistent with these beliefs and affect" (Dean et al., 1998; p. 345).
