Commitment as a Mediator between Psychological Climate & Citizenship Behaviour

The psychological climate of the workplace is viewed as one of the most important environmental factors affecting an individual's workplace attitudes. At the same time, a favourable climate in the absence of commitment can be a source of misuse of workplace freedom by individuals. The present paper attempts to examine the mediating role played by affective commitment between psychological climate and organizational citizenship behaviour. Data for the present study were collected from manufacturing as well as service sector organizations all over India. The results and their theoretical and practical implications are discussed in detail.
