Abstract
Social distancing has been introduced in many organizations to curb the spread of COVID-19. This paper explores how and when social distancing influences workplace relationships. Drawing on the affect theory of social exchange and the social cognition literature, authors argue that when employees have negative affective relationships with their coworkers (before COVID-19), social distancing helps improve such negative affective relationships (during COVID-19), especially when the coworker is warm and competent. Hierarchical linear modeling results support the main argument.
