Organisational citizenship behavior (OCB) has been a major construct in the fields of psychology and
management for the last two decades. Based on the findings of Organ (1977), it has been conclusively proven that
OCB contributes indirectly to organizational effectiveness by enhancing the “social and psychological context that
supports task performance”. Thus, it has received a great deal of attention in the literature (Bateman & Organ, 1983;
Organ & Ryan, 1995; Podsakoff, MacKenzie, Paine, & Bachrach, 2000). Organizational citizenship behavior, is
characterized by individuals voluntarily making extra-role contributions to the organization that are above and
beyond their job duties (Organ, 1990). Various researchers have recognized the significant influence of OCB on the
success of an organization (e.g., Chen, Hui, & Sego, 1998). As such, researchers and organizational leaders are
interested in understanding factors linked to individual willingness to demonstrate OCB.
