Abstract
This research investigates how an understudied personal resource (exhibitionism) might
positively connect with peer-oriented helping behavior, as well as how this connection might be
invigorated by four pertinent contextual resources: two resources that speak to beliefs about
fair organizational treatment (informational justice and procedural justice) and two resources
that capture how employees feel about their work functioning (job satisfaction and organizational
commitment). Two-wave survey data collected among banking sector employees reveal that
their desire to be the center of attention is associated with an enhanced propensity to extend
help to other organizational peers, voluntarily. This process also is more likely when employees
(1) believe that organizational authorities provide them with sufficient information, (2) perceive
organizational procedures as fair, (3) feel happy with their current job situation, and (4) experience
a strong emotional bond with their employer.
