The City SchoolSouthern Region Organization and Reengineering of Schools Organizational Citizenship Behavior and School Performance
Basic Concept ofOrganizational Citizenship Behaviour (OCB) There is a striking similarity between a state and an organization. • A state or country works for the development of its citizens. In addition to providing rights to them, it can motivate its citizens to contribute to their duties. • Similarly, in an organization driven by a strong leadership, employees can be helped to understand the importance of their role and to go beyond the call of duty by making them citizens of the company/school.
Definition of OCB Individual behaviours of employees that are beneficial to the organization and are discretionary, not directly recognized by formal reward system but rather a matter of personal choice.

In the grasslands, somewhere on the African continent, success can be defined in terms of life and death, Survival is a strong motivator. Here’s a short story …
When the light comes in the Eastern sky and you sense that the sun will soon steal the comfort and security of the night, the gazelle starts to stir. He knows that if, during this day, he does not run faster than the fastest cheetah, he may be caught and then he will be killed. Not far away, the cheetah stretches out his powerful muscles and thinks of the day ahead, He knows that if he does not run faster than the slowest gazelle, he will surely starve. The moral of this story …
It doesn’t matter whether you are a gazelle or a cheetah … …when the sun is up … … you had better be running.
