本研究旨在探讨虚拟员工的物理隔离程度与其在组织中的感知尊重之间的关系。尊重是一种基于身份的地位感知，反映了一个人作为组织成员被包括和重视的程度。我们假设，物理隔离的程度是负相关的虚拟员工的感知尊重，这种关系解释了较低的组织识别之间的物理隔离的虚拟员工。在两个实地调查中，我们发现，知觉尊重与物理隔离的程度呈负相关，尊重中介物理隔离和组织认同之间的关系。这些影响对任期较短和较长的员工都适用。我们的研究有助于虚拟工作文献提请注意物理隔离和重要的，但被忽视的作用，地位的看法，在塑造虚拟员工的组织认同。我们还有助于文学上的尊重表现出尊重是如何影响工作的物理环境。
This research investigates the relationship between virtual employees' degree of physical isolation and their perceived respect in the organization. Respect is an identity-based status perception that reflects the extent to which one is included and valued as a member of the organization. We hypothesize that the degree of physical isolation is negatively associated with virtual employees' perceived respect and that this relationship explains the lower organizational identification among more physically isolated virtual employees. In two field studies using survey methods, we find that perceived respect is negatively associated with the degree of physical isolation, and respect mediates the relationship between physical isolation and organizational identification. These effects hold for shorter- and longer-tenured employees alike. Our research contributes to the virtual work literature by drawing attention to physical isolation and the important but neglected role of status perceptions in shaping virtual employees' organizational identification. We also contribute to the literature on perceived respect by demonstrating how respect is affected by the physical context of work.
