Abstract: The present research examined the predictive relationships between employees’ attachment style, motives for engaging in workplace romances, and five individual-level work outcomes: job performance, job satisfaction, intrinsic job motivation, organizational commitment, and organizational citizenship behavior. An Amazon Mechanical Turk survey was used to obtain self-report responses to measures of each predictor and outcome. All participants were employed and involved in a romantic relationship at their organization. Results hold implications regarding the need for managers and employees to maintain an awareness of their relationship-oriented goals and behaviors, the utility of fraternization policies, and potential consequences of different types of workplace romances.
