Based on role theory, the present study examines theoretically meaningful, yet infrequently studied relationship between organization identification, autonomy orientation and competence mobilization in predicting role breadth and role performance. Data collected from employees ( n = 178) and supervisors ( n = 67) working in a large information technology (IT) company based in India was analyzed using hierarchical regression to test the hypotheses. Results show that organization identification, autonomy orientation and competence mobilization were positively related to role breadth. Specifically, role breadth mediates the relationship between organization identification, autonomy orientation and competence mobilization and role performance. Discussion shows insights into theoretical and practical perspectives.
