C-collaborators are motivated not only by the extrinsic and intrinsic rewards of the partnership but also by motives that
transcend their self-interest, such as the good of the organization or the people that work in that organization. These motives are called altruistic or trascendent (PeÂrez-LoÂpez, 1991). C-collaborators want to work for somebody
who is trustful and worth contributing for. They want to identify with a cause that is meaningful and makes a difference. As long as the leader shows integrity in his or her behavior and decisions, they will follow not only his or her demands, but also what the leader does not ask for but they perceive it is important, even if it is hard and they do not
enjoy doing it. This pattern of following behaviors is what we call unity. Typical consequences of this pattern of behaviors are availability, extra-role effort, and commitment to the team or company. Unitytype following behaviors also include
constructive conflict, whistle-blowing, and negative feedback, whenever the collaborator perceives that these behaviors are needed for the good of the organization.
