Abstract
The “levels” perspective requires that constructs be specified for each level (e.g. individual, group, organization) and theories developed that specify how the constructs or variables are related within and across levels. Implicit in this perspective is the importance of understanding the organizational context in which phenomenon operate as well as understanding how features of the organizational context impact individuals’ responses in organizations. The importance of context will be highlighted using examples from my research across several topics including demographic composition and pay, unit climate and unit outcomes, how shared values coupled with individual’s values are related to individuals’ attitudes, performance systems and OCB, and changes in one’s relative standing in the group (big fish-little pond effect) and changes in performance.
