Influence of Group Lateness on Individual Lateness: A Cross-Level Examination

It was hypothesized that group-level employee lateness assessed before administration of a survey would account for significant variance in post-survey individual lateness beyond that due to individual-level antecedents such as pre-survey lateness, work attitudes, and work-family conflict. The study samples were 285 bank tellers and 439 hospital employees. Results supported a group-level effect on individual lateness beyond controlled-for individual-level antecedents. Implications and limitations of this study are discussed.
