AbstractThe authors show how the perceptions of spirit of camaraderie explain 5 dimensions of employees' affective well-being and how this relationship is moderated by the employees' need to belong. The sample comprised 296 individuals working in 78 organizations. The authors found the following: (a) Perceptions of spirit of camaraderie predict unique variance of all affective well-being dimensions; (b) the need to belong moderates the relationship between perceptions of spirit of camaraderie and affective well-being in such a way that employees with a strong need to belong are more sensitive or reactive to perceptions of spirit of camaraderie; (c) among those with low need to belong, the relationship between perceptions of spirit of camaraderie and affective well-being is not linear in such a way that a "surplus" of spirit of camaraderie can be detrimental to their affective well-being.
