Organizational identification has been linked to both positive behavior and negative behavior at work. Based on theory and research that suggest that for many organizational behaviors, team identification may be a more important influence than organizational identification, we advance a research model proposing that team identification, more than organizational identification, predicts counterproductive work behavior and organizational citizenship behavior and is the more important mediator of the influence of communication climate (CC) and perceived external prestige (PEP) on these outcomes. This research model was tested in a survey of N = 300 employees of four Italian organizations from different sectors. Results show that team identification, but not organizational identification, predicts counterproductive behavior and citizenship behavior and mediates the influence of CC and PEP. To enhance team identification for sustaining positive voluntary behavior at work, two possible strategies could be considered: improving perceived external prestige and promoting a good communication climate.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between Pathological Affective Dependence (PAD) and Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), analyze its dynamics and propose a measurement and intervention for PAD. The study is part of a broader project to cross-validate the PAD measurement scale and to develop and validate a cognitive-behavioral treatment to improve the well-being and resilience of IPV victims. Method: Drawing on a recently published cognitive-behavioral clinical model (Pugliese et al., 2023a), this study (1) introduces the PAD model and cycle, (2) outlines psychopathological profiles associated with PAD, (3) validates the Pathological Affective Dependence Scale (PADS) in diverse populations, and (4) formulates intervention hypotheses for PAD. Results: PAD is a trans-diagnostic condition that makes a person more vulnerable to abusive, controlling, violent, or manipulative behavior by a partner in an intimate relationship. The inability to separate from the abusive partner, even in critical situations, shows that there is a strong link between PAD and IPV. The analysis of the psychopathological profile suggests different clusters: "Unworthy"," "Rescuer"," "Vulnerable" and "Mixed". Preliminary results of the validation of the PADS indicate its potential as a measurement tool and its ability in identifying profiles at higher risk of IPV. The absence of evidence-based treatments for PAD stresses the urgent need to fill this gap in combating IPV. Conclusions: The findings underscore the significance of PAD as a risk factor for violence in intimate relationships and the necessity for evidence-based, personalized cognitive-behavioral interventions for various profiles of IPV victims with PAD. Accurate identification of at-risk individuals, based on psychopathological profiles and the use of the PADS, is crucial for developing prevention strategies and targeted treatments to counteract the consequences of violence on the mental and physical health of victims.
