Introduction Support for others is woven into the fabric of organizational life in multiple relationships, exchanges, and contexts (Colbert, Bono, & Purvanova, 2016; Morrison, 2009). Accessing support helps in coping during times of stress, and since organizational change can be stressful in terms of processes and outcomes, it is one context where support from others becomes particularly meaningful (Cunningham et al., 2002; Lawrence & Callan, 2011; Robinson & Griffiths, 2005).
