ORGANIZATIONAL CITIZENSHIP BEHAVIOUR (OCB) • Work behaviour can be seen in terms of in-role and extra-role behaviour. • Willingness to engage in extra-role behaviour is indicative of high OCB • OCB is willingness to go the extra mile • OCB is product of high level of motivation and commitment • High OCB related to high performance level and less need for hierarchical control • Individuals become self driven • Also reflective of willingness to be resourceful beyond immediate role requirement.
DIMENSIONS OF OCB • Altruism: • voluntary actions motivated by the belief in doing good to others • Conscientiousness: • A pattern of going well beyond minimally required role and task requirement in order to serve the interest of the organization • Courtesy: • The discretionary enactment of thoughtful and considerate behavior that prevents work related problem for others • Civic virtue: • Willingness to participate in non-work related activities for the sake of the organization • Sportsmanship: • Willingness to tolerate the inevitable inconveniences and imposition that result in an orgn w/out complaining, and doing so with positive attitude
