Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) is an established psychological construct that represents work behavior that is not required but contributes to improved organizational performance. This study examined the relationship of cognitive job satisfaction and OCB in a military organization. Several demographic variables previous identified to be related to OCB were also measured. Cognitive Job Satisfaction was significantly related to both self and supervisor ratings of OCB. The magnitude of correlations of pay and job cognitions with altruism and conscientiousness dovetailed with previous research results in field studies with much larger sample sizes. Government service civilians had significantly higher mean self-rated OCB than military personnel. Age and tenure were significant moderator variables in this relationship, but did not have significant main effects. Tenure was significantly correlated with self-rated OCB and both its factors, altruism and conscientiousness. Insufficient statistical power due to few respondents and range restriction due to pre-selection limited the ability to find significant group differences.

Doctor of Philosophy / Department of Hospitality Management & Dietetics / Chihyung Ok / Academics and practitioners alike have studied the concept of person-environment fit (P-E fit) during the last two decades. How well a person fits the work environment may be an effective indicator of attitudes and behaviors in organizations. P-E fit is not completely conceptualized, so existing studies of fit theory have focused only on particular dimensions of fit leading to contradictory results. Therefore, Study 1, using multi-dimensional environment fit, tested relationships among the environment fits, work related attitudes, and outcomes at the individual, group, and organization levels. In addition, Study 2 examined the effect of relationship qualities between hierarchical levels (supervisor-subordinate) and multi-dimensional fit on employee turnover intention. To empirically test the proposed relationships, 288 foodservice employees at continuing care retirement communities (22 facilities) statewide submitted questionnaires. Of these, 261 and 254 were usable in study 1 and study 2, respectively, for further data analysis. The results of structural equation modeling (Study 1) suggested that employee need-supply fit, demand-ability fit, person-group fit, and person-organization fit were positively related to employee need satisfaction. Further, need satisfaction was positively related to outcome variables like work engagement, interpersonal citizenship behavior, and organizational commitment. Results of hierarchical multiple regressions (for Study 2) showed that employee need-supply fit perception related negatively to turnover intention. The study also found that the leader-member exchange relationship moderated the need-supply fit and turnover intention. Thus, a close exchange relationship between leaders and subordinates could keep subordinates from leaving because of a need-supply misfit. Further discussion and managerial implications of the findings along with directions for future studies are provided.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate relationships between dimensions of work ethic and dimensions of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and counterproductive work behavior (CWB). Design/Methodology/Approach: Data were collected from employed individuals in MBA and undergraduate management courses and their work supervisors (N = 233). Participants represented diverse occupations with respect to job levels and industries. Participants completed the work ethic inventory, and participants’ managers completed ratings of OCB and CWB. Findings: The work ethic dimension of centrality of work was positively related to both dimensions of OCB (i.e., OCB-I and OCB-O), and the work ethic dimension of morality/ethics was negatively related to one of the dimensions of CWB (i.e., CWB-I). Implications: Modern perspectives on job performance recognize the multidimensional nature of the domain (i.e., the expanded criterion domain). In addition, noncognitive predictors such as work ethic have value as individual differences that are associated with performance outcomes. The assessment of such constructs can help inform selection and placement activities where a focus on OCB and CWB is important to managers. Originality/Value: This study provides additional evidence on the relationship between work ethic and performance outcomes. Previous research has provided limited information on the relationship between dimensions of work ethic and dimensions of OCB, and no information existed on the relationship between work ethic dimensions and CWB.

In order to achieve the purposes mentioned above, the study introduces “questionnaire survey” to conduct a study, with public and private junior high school teachers in Hsinchu city/county as research objects. In order to be significant, the official questionnaire survey of this study is proceeded upon different school size, with 22 schools with “12 classes (included)”, 12 schools with “13-24 classes”, 13 schools with “24-48 classes”, 5 schools with “49 classes (included)” selected; totaling up 49 schools with 456 questionnaires distributed and 442 questionnaires returned, reporting a 97.00% return rate including 32 invalid questionnaires and 412 valid questionnaires, reporting a 93.00% valid return rate. The study uses “A Study of Principals’ Servant Leadership and Teachers' Organizational Citizenship Behavior at Junior High Schools” questionnaire as a tool, covering two tables besides basic information of interviewees, which are “Principals’ Servant Leadership Behavior” and “Teachers’ Organizational Citizenship Behavior” questionnaire. Introducing descriptive statistics, t test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffe′s method, multiple stepwise regression analysis for data statistic analysis, the study is mainly concluded as below upon the research outcomes. I. Junior high school teachers in Hsinchu city/county reported a feeling on “vision inspired” by principals’ servant leadership behavior the most, and a feeling on “respect on community establishment” the least. II. Junior high school teachers in Hsinchu city/county reported better feeling on “scrupulous abidance of duty” of teachers’ organizational citizenship behavior, and reported poorer feeling on “interpersonal citizenship behavior”. III. Junior high school teachers in Hsinchu city/county reported the same level of identity in terms of “gender” for principal leadership behavior and teachers’ organizational citizenship behavior. IV. Junior high school teachers in Hsinchu city/county reported better feeling on the performance of “principals who aged above 61” in terms of principals’ servant leadership and “teachers who aged above 51” in terms of teachers’ organizational citizenship behavior. V. Junior high school teachers in Hsinchu city/county feel no significant difference on the performance of principals from “different academic backgrounds” in terms of principals’ servant leadership and teachers’ organizational citizenship behavior. VI. In terms of various dimensions of principals upon diverse years of service, junior high school teachers in Hsinchu city/county reported better feeling on principals who have “over 7 years of service” than those who have a service of 3-4 years and under two years; however, teachers upon various years of service showed no significant difference in terms of the performance of teachers’ organizational citizenship behavior. VII. Due to the diverse positions that junior high school teachers in Hsinchu city/county are responsible for, full-time teachers performed better than tutors in terms of “interpersonal citizenship behavior” aspect of teachers’ organizational citizenship behavior. VIII. Junior high school teachers in Hsinchu city/county reported better feeling on schools with “over 49 classes” which is significantly higher than schools in other class size; however, they reported no significant difference in terms of the performance of teachers’ organizational citizenship behavior. IX. Due to different types of schools, junior high school teachers in Hsinchu city/county have positive comments on the performance of private schools than public schools in no matter a feeling on principals’ servant leadership or the performance of teachers’ organization citizenship behavior. X. The principals’ servant leadership has a power of prediction while facing teachers’ organizational citizenship behavior from various aspects, therefore, the principals’ leadership behavior will have positive and direct impact on teachers’ organizational citizenship behavior.

The purpose of this study was to explore whether the employee perceived need-supply fit (N-S fit), demand-ability fit (D-A fit), person-organization fit (P-O fit), and person-supervisor fit (P-S fit) mediate the relationship between transformational leadership (TFL) and follower's task performance, and organizational citizenship behavior toward organization (OCB-O)and supervisor (OCB-S). In addition, we also examined the moderating effects of follower's cultural and learning adaptabilities on the relationship between TFL and the above employee's fit perceptions. The data was collected from 36 companies of different industries in Taiwan, consisted of 85 leaders and 179 followers. The result of structural equation modeling and hierarchical regression analysis showed that perceived N-S fit mediated the relationship of TFL and task performance. The effect of TFL on OCB-O and OCB-S was also mediated by perceived P-O fit, and P-S fit respectively. Furthermore, follower's cultural adaptability moderated the positive relationship between TFL and N-S fit. Besides, follower's low learning adaptability strengthened the effect of TFL on follower perceived D-A fit. Finally, follower's learning adaptability strengthened the positive relationship between TFL and perceived P-S fit. Theoretical and practical implications of our findings are discussed.

This investigation uses the model proposed by Ferris et al.¡]1989¡^to study the relationships among the perceptions of organizational politics with job satisfaction, job stress, job involvement, work performance, turnover intention, organization citizenship behavior, organizational commitment. Understanding and perceived of control as moderators to influence perceptions of organizational politics & outcome variables were examined. The sample consisted of 2559 employees selected from 35 diverse organizations. The data were analyzed by applying statistical methods, including factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlation, regression and hierarchical regression analysis. The major results of this study are as follows. The perceptions of organizational politics have been reduced to three factors--general political behavior, going along to get ahead and the difference of policies & practices. Behavior of general politics were found have negative relationship with work performance and job involvement and positive relationship with job stress. The difference of policies & practice were found have negative relationship with job satisfaction, job involvement, organization citizenship behavior and organizational commitment and positive relationship with job stress, work performance and turnover intention. Understanding serves as moderators of the relationships between perceptions of organizational politics sub-dimension and job satisfaction, job stress, work performance, turnover intention, organization citizenship behavior, and organizational commitment. Perceived of control serves as a moderator of the relationships between perceptions of organizational politics sub-dimension and job stress, work performance, turnover intention, and organizational commitment.
