回顾文献以定义工作场所的社区意识并确定可能促进这种社区意识的因素。我们利用在一家中型制造企业从事低级工作的不同文化的男性和女性样本的调查数据开发和估计了一个模型。据报道，回归分析的结果纠正了由于少数族裔工人的较低反应率而导致的样本选择偏差。研究结果表明，精心设计的工作以及支持性的工作场所关系和政策对于解释工人的社区意识非常重要，社区意识被定义为工人对雇员和雇主之间相互承诺的看法。非正式的支持来源在解释男性的社区意识方面发挥着更大的作用，而正式的支持来源在解释女性的社区意识方面则更重要。调查结果进一步表明，非裔美国工人，尤其是女性，很难在工作中体验到社区感。
The literature is reviewed to define a sense of community in the workplace and to identify factors that may foster it. A model is developed and estimated with survey data from a culturally diverse sample of men and women performing lower-level jobs at a medium-sized manufacturing firm. Results of regression analyses are reported that correct for sample selection bias resulting from the lower response rates of minority workers. Findings suggest that well-designed jobs and supportive workplace relationships and policies are important in explaining workers' sense of community, defined as workers' perceptions of mutual commitment between employee and employer. Informal sources of support play a larger role in explaining men's sense of community, while formal sources of support are more important in explaining women's sense of community. Findings further suggest that African American workers, especially women, have a difficult time experiencing a sense of community at work.
