Organizational Citizenship Behavior in Enhancing the Performance of Teachers Behaviour in Schools:An Empirical Approach

The world is looking forward to high performance organizations that provide high job satisfaction to their employees and would also cherish excellence and effectiveness. This could be achieved if the concept of organizational citizenship exists. Organizations need employees who are willing to exceed their formal job requirements. Exceeding formal job requirements is commonly referred to as Organizational citizenship behavior (OCB]. The current study explores the impact of OCB among the selected higher secondary school teachers of Government, private schools in Erode District of Tamilnadu, India. The study was conducted with 120 teachers from 4 schools-two from government and two from private schools. The existence of OCB varies with the type of school-government/private. The major factors influencing OCB was indentified with factor analysis. The implications of the study are relevant to other studies regarding employees' performances, its assessment and influence on organizational efficiency, and its effectiveness and success. Recommendations are made for further research that could bring more light on OCBs as a unique phenomenon at work place.
