Psychological Empowerment and Place Attachment influencing

Organizational Citizenship behaviour (OCB) has been found to be largely influenced by individual characteristics. However, how an individual’s emotional bonding with the place (organization) influences OCB has not been studied. There has also been growing interest in the impact of Psychological Empowerment on display of OCB. Hence, this research aims to explore the impact of Place Attachment (PA) and Psychological Empowerment (PE) on OCB among the employees of a private University in the Eastern Region. Data were collected with the help of a questionnaire from the employees who were willing to participate and after checking for completeness of the responses and outliers, finally, 323 data were analyzed. Correlation analysis and structural equation modelling revealed that both PA and PE influenced all the dimensions of OCB. The findings of this study will contribute towards understanding the importance of variables such as PE and PA in an academic setting and its impact on the display of extra role voluntary behaviours.

Organizational citizenship behaviors perceived by collectivistic 50-and-older customers and medical-care service performance: an application of stimulus-organism-response theory

PurposeThe study aims to examine the underexplored agenda in organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs) through the collectivistic 50-and-older customers' lens when encountering medical-care services by applying stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R) theory.Design/methodology/approachThe authors propose an integrative causal model derived from employees OCBs perceived by the collectivistic 50-and-older outpatients in Korean medical-care organizations and test the causal relationships using structural equation modeling (SEM).FindingsThe three dimensions of OCBs are external stimuli to the synergistic relationship of both cognitive and affective organisms for enhancing the organization's external outcomes. The customers' organismic processes mediate the relationships between OCBs and the resultant outcomes. Customer satisfaction plays a pivotal role in determining customers' future behavior when converting the business relationship to friendship.Practical implicationsThe proposed integrated model provides an overall mechanism of the collectivistic customer decision process in the medical-care service setting. The integrated model helps to understand better how customers proceed mental and emotional states with the encountered services and how frontline employees offer extra-roles beyond in-roles to their customers in touching points to maintain superior organizational performance.Originality/valueThe authors respond to the underexplored agenda in the OCB research discipline. The study is one of the few studies to examine the effect of OCBs from collectivistic customers' perspectives and apply a consumer behavior theory to explain a service organizational performance in an integrative causal model.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND ORGANIZATIONAL IDENTIFICATION OF E-COMMERCE ENTERPRISE BASED ON THE MODERATING EFFECT OF COLLECTIVISM

This work empirically analyzes the moderating effect of collectivism on the relationship between social responsibility and organizational identification of e-commerce enterprise. Our study suggests that: (1) there would be significant difference on the organizational identification under distinct enterprise sizes, employee gender and educational levels; (2) Fulfillment of duties to employees, consumers and the government has a significant positive impact on organizational identification, while fulfillment of duties to social and non-social stakeholders cannot effectively predict the impact of organizational identification; (3) organizational identification imposes a significant positive effect on the two structural dimensions of organizational citizenship behavior. 
 Collectivism orientation plays a moderating role in the influence of employee-oriented and government-oriented responsibility on organizational identification. Our study recommends the managers of e-commerce enterprises to strengthen the organic integration of business strategy and corporate social responsibility (CSR), and to develop an effective framework for the system construction of CSR. It is necessary to realize that the fulfillment of corporate social responsibility is a long-term systematic project that requires fullest participation of employees. 
 Managers should undermine the collectivism orientation of employees, and vigorously activate the interaction between employees and organizations, proactively cultivating the collectivism consciousness and the sense of community among employees.

Predicting organizational citizenship behavior in a multicultural environment: The role of cultural intelligence and cultural distance

Cross-cultural research in organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) has primarily focused on testing the generalizability of various OCB dimensions in different cultures, while attempting to unearth any culture-specific OCB notions that may arise from the values of a particular culture. But with the contemporary workplace becoming increasingly multicultural, this research attempts to move beyond the study of OCB in culturally homogenous environments and investigates its manifestation in a multicultural context. This study proposes cultural intelligence (CQ) as one of the antecedents of OCB, which enables individuals in foreign cultures to understand the perceptions of OCB in that particular culture, and posits that individuals with high levels of CQ exhibit OCB in multicultural environments. Furthermore, this study investigates the moderating effect of cultural distance (CD) on the relationship between CQ and OCB to test whether culturally similar or different environments strengthen or weaken this relationship. The study draws upon the trait activation theory to test the hypotheses under investigation. Data for this study were collected from 513 expatriates of 31 different nationalities working in a multicultural environment and analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results indicated that CQ had a positive impact on OCB, but CD did not have any impact on the CQ-OCB relationship. The findings of this study have important implications for human resource managers managing a culturally diverse workforce.

Effect of corporate ethics and social responsibility on OCB: the role of employee identification and perceived CSR significance

The objective of this study is to examine the nature of the association that corporate ethics and CSR have with the two dimensions of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), OCB toward other individuals in the company (OCBI) and OCB toward the organization’s strategies and objectives (OCBO). Based on a framework involving the resource-based view of the firm and the social identity theory, the CSR-OCB relationship is investigated with regard to employees’ perceived significance of CSR practices as well as their identification (association level) with the organization. The proposed model depicting the relationships is tested empirically based on data collected from a survey instrument distributed to alumni from one of the leading universities in Lebanon employed in various companies belonging to different sectors in Lebanon and the region. Partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) is used to analyze the data and multi-group analysis is conducted to investigate the role of perceived CSR significance. Based on the data analysis results, the model is validated and the stated hypotheses are supported. Moreover, the moderating role of the perceived CSR significance in the relationship between CSR and OCB is highlighted. Theoretical and practical implications, study limitations, and further research recommendations are provided.

Relationships between Employees’ Identifications and Citizenship Behavior in Work Groups: The Role of the Regularity and Intensity of Interactions

This paper explores the relationships of various employees’ identifications (personal, interpersonal, micro-group, group and organizational) in their two components (cognitive and affective) with two dimensions of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB): offering quality ideas and suggestions, and providing help and support within small work groups. Two studies were conducted in Russia on two respective samples: (1) employees of commercial enterprises (N = 183) characterized by a relatively high regularity and intensity of within-group interactions; and (2) the academic staff of higher education institutions (N = 157), which typically have relatively less regular, low-intensity within-group interactions. The research employed four questionnaires to assess the participants’ identifications in both of their components. In addition, managers in the respective organizations filled out an organizational communicativeness questionnaire and a two-factor OCB assessment instrument. It was found that the relationships between (a) particular identifications and (b) the ratio of group identification to other identifications, on the one hand, and OCB, on the other, depend on the degree of regularity of within-group interactions, as well as on the identification components. Organizational communicativeness did not moderate the relationship between identifications and OCB, but was significantly positively correlated with both OCB dimensions. The theoretical and practical implications of the study findings are discussed.

Designing a Model of Organizational Citizenship Behavior from a Social Perspective in the Iranian Red Crescent Society

INTRODUCTION: A good organizational citizen is a thought and idea that includes various behaviors of employees such as accepting and assuming additional duties and responsibilities, following organizational rules and procedures, maintaining and developing a positive attitude, being patient, and tolerating dissatisfaction and problems in the workplace. The increase in the level of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) in the organization makes the organization an attractive environment for work. In other words, the desired level of OCBs affects the improvement of the performance of employees and, in general, the organization. The Iranian Red Crescent Society is one of the human-centered organizations, and observing the indicators of citizenship behavior is one of the effective factors in the success of its performance. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the OCB from a social perspective in the Iranian Red Crescent Society. METHODS: The present applied study was conducted based on an exploratory qualitative approach. The statistical population of this study consisted of all managers and employees of the Iranian Red Crescent Society. The required data were collected using in-depth semi-structured interviews, which reached saturation after holding 14 interviews. To analyze the data, content analysis, meta-synthesis, and fuzzy Delphi methods using grounded theory were applied. The MAXQDA software (version 10) was used in the theory analysis process. FINDINGS: In this study, the results were classified into 78 concepts, 14 sub-criteria, and 2 main criteria, including the dimensions of citizenship behavior and the consequences of citizenship behavior. The most important dimensions of OCB consisted of the categories of helpful behaviors, individual creativity, organizational obedience, organizational loyalty, chivalry, civic virtue, and personal growth. CONCLUSION: The results of data analysis showed that the categories of increasing performance productivity and effectiveness, promoting positive relationships among employees, boosting efficiency in resource allocation, reducing maintenance costs, creating the necessary flexibility for innovation, improving customer service, using rare resources effectively were the most important consequences of observing OCB from a social perspective in the IRCS.

Attachment Dimensions as Moderators of the Relationship between Commitment to Supervisors and Organizational Citizenship Behavior

The aims of this study are to examine the correlation between the commitment to supervisors and Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) by using two different commitment conceptions and to determine whether this relationship is moderated by personal internal attachment dimensions. The theoretical framework was provided by the concept of Affective Commitment (AC), derived from Meyer and Allen’s Three-Component Model (TCM), the target-free approach of Klein et al., and attachment personality theory. The study used the Affective Commitment to Supervisors (ACS) scale and Klein’s Unidimensional and Target-free (KUT) scale. The predictive value of supervisory commitment was confirmed by both methods. However, depending on the scale, the results revealed different links between commitment, OCB, and attachment personal dimensions as moderating factors. The ACS scale interacted with the dimension of attachment anxiety: In the case of a low or moderate supervisory commitment, anxiety decreased engagement in OCB. By contrast, the moderating model indicated that there was no such interaction when using the KUT scale.
