Description
Summary:	Individuals were recruited from India (1111) and the United States (1087) to complete a survey analyzing the relationship between organizational dissent and argumentativeness. Correlation analysis revealed contrary to previous research, argumentativeness and the three types of organizational dissent were not positively correlated. Hierarchical regression modeling illustrated nationality to have a significant effect on the relationship between argumentativeness and displaced dissent and between argumentativeness and latent dissent. An individual's organizational tenure did not significantly influence the relationship between dissent and argumentativeness. Significant effects emerged between dissent and argumentativeness for the interaction between nationality and an individual's organizational tenure.
