Although studies support the benefits of increased social interconnection between employees in the workplace, the effects are not necessarily entirely positive. At times, the demands our coworkers make of us, either explicitly or implicitly, may culminate in dysfunction. The construct social burden represents these demands and is predictive of dysfunction when experienced by coworkers. In the present research, I extend this finding by highlighting individual differences—hostile attribution bias and negative reciprocity beliefs—that increase the likelihood that social burden leads to counterproductive behaviors. Each of these individual differences has an intensifying effect when taken separately and when taken jointly (i.e., a threeway interaction). To conclude, I discuss the implications of these findings and directions for refining and advancing research regarding social burden.
