个人不寻求帮助，即使在需要帮助和获得帮助的时候，因为寻求帮助意味着无能和依赖，因此与无能为力有关。假设性别、地位和组织规范影响维持和积累权力的重要性，这反过来又影响寻求帮助的行为。一项实验室和一项现场研究表明，地位平等的个体之间的求助多于地位不平等的个体之间的求助。此外，这两项研究都表明，男性在集体中寻求帮助的次数多于个体组织规范，尽管这一趋势在女性中并不明显。这些结果揭示了求助行为背后的心理机制，并对制定促进组织中求助的步骤具有现实意义。(C)1997年学术出版社。
Individuals do not seek help, even when help is needed and available, because help seeking implies incompetence and dependence, and therefore is related to powerlessness, It was hypothesized that gender, status, and organizational norms affect the importance of maintaining and accruing power, which in turn affect help seeking behaviors. A laboratory and a field study showed that there was more help seeking between equal-status than unequal-status individuals, Further, both studies revealed that males sought more help in collective than individualistic organizational norms, though the trend was not apparent for females, These results shed light on the psychological mechanisms underlying help seeking behaviors and have practical implications for developing steps to foster help seeking in organizations.
