This study examines accounts of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) by temporary knowledge employees. Most studies of OCB are based on the perspective of permanent employees and may not account for the unique perspective of temporary knowledge employees. This study finds that the most prominent themes in temporary knowledge employees' explanations for why they engaged in OCB are their perceived norms of professional behavior for their occupation and an experience of positive regard with and among their co-workers. This is in contrast with the themes of social exchange, organizational identification, and impression management that are currently invoked in explaining OCBs among permanent employees.

Examines collective action by immigrants in France over the past quarter-century as a means of exploring the persistence or erosion of the French republican model of integration, which has been challenged by the installation of a large non-European population & by the decline of traditional integrative mechanisms. The failure of immigrant collective action to generate sustained & effective movements reveals that while ethnicity has become a fact in French society, the cultural & political conditions necessary for a conversion of this situation into a multicultural model of minority incorporation & participation have thus far been absent.
