Purpose This study aims to examine the effect of knowledge hiding (KH) on organizational citizenship behavior toward individuals (OCBI) through the mediation of self-conscious emotions (SCE), namely, shame and guilt. This paper further considers the supervisor’s Islamic work ethics (IWE) as a conditional variable. Design/methodology/approach In this quantity-based research, this paper collected data from 473 employees working in various service and manufacturing organizations through Google form at two-lags. Findings The study applied structural equation modeling and identified that employees experience SCE due to KH. More specifically, rationalized hiding was found to have a negative effect, whereas playing dumb and evasive hiding was found to have a positive effect on shame and guilt. The results also revealed SCE (shame and guilt) as mediators between KH and OCBI. Further, the supervisor’s IWE was found to be a conditional variable to strengthen the association between KH and SCE. Research limitations/implications The study collected data from a single source. However, the issue of common method variance was tackled through time-lags. Practical implications The study suggests that supervisors must communicate with employees about the negative outcomes of KH. They must create such an environment that discourages the engagement of employees in KH and encourages the employees to engage themselves in helping behaviors to maintain a productive and creative work environment. Originality/value This study adds to the limited literature on the emotional consequences of KH from knowledge hiders’ perspective and unfolds the behavior-emotion-behavior sequence through the emotional pathway. More specifically, this study examined the negative emotional effect of hiding the knowledge that leads to compensatory strategy (organizational citizenship behavior) through SCE (shame and guilt). Finally, zooming into SCE, this study elucidates the supervisor’s IWE as a conditional variable.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to find out dimensions of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) in Indian setting and to further examine the role of OCB that impacts employees’ intention to stay, with a view to draw on the deeper influences it carries on the quality work of the organization. Design/methodology/approach Experimental research design was used to find out the causal relationship between these constructs, i.e., dimensions of OCB and intention to stay. Probability sampling method was used to obtain the sample. In total, 475 respondents were approached for data collection. Data were collected using questionnaire method. Findings Factor analysis result revealed five factors of OCB, namely: sportsmanship, altruism, courtesy, civic virtue and conscientiousness, having the reliability of 0.93, 0.89, 0.81, 0.82 and 0.69, respectively, single factor of intention to stay having the reliability 0.87. The findings of Pearson’s correlation, regression and structural equation modeling revealed unequivocal influence of OCB over employees’ intention to stay, suggesting a maneuvering capability of OCB with its influence over employees’ intention to stay in their present organizations. Research limitations/implications Since this study was conducted in India, to establish the external validity has to be judged carefully. The organizations approached for the study were of the MNC level. Practical implications This study is important to understand the citizenship behavior of employees in relation with intention to stay in Indians setting in particular and the world in general.

Purpose This study aims to examine the influence of organizational citizenship behavior’s sub-constructs including altruism, civic virtue, sportsmanship, conscientiousness and courtesy on knowledge sharing behavior (KSB). It also pays attention to the effects of group emotional climate on the relationship between organizational citizenship behavior and knowledge sharing. Design/methodology/approach This research was conducted based on the quantitative research strategy by applying structural equation modeling. Using a random sampling method, this research surveyed 116 participants and analyzed the data via partial least equation modeling. Findings The results claim that altruism, conscientiousness and civic virtue have a significant effect on KSB, while the relationship between courtesy and sportsmanship with KSB were not significant. Furthermore, the findings depict that positive and negative workgroup emotional climate would impede or enhance KSB among people with a high level of altruism, conscientiousness and civic virtue. Practical implications Given the importance of knowledge sharing in the today knowledge economy, by comprehending the influence of group organizational citizenship behavior’s sub-constructs on knowledge sharing, managers would improve organizational knowledge sharing by developing a culture encouraging altruism, conscientiousness and civic virtue as a substitute for incentive pay. Moreover, promoting an emotionally supportive climate fosters knowledge sharing within people. Originality/value This study makes three distinct additions to the knowledge sharing literature. First, although there are little studies that investigate the relationship between organizational citizenship behaviors (OCB) and KS, a few of them examine the effects of OCB’s sub-constructs on KS behavior. Second, this is one of the first studies that examined the moderating role of workgroup emotional climate regarding knowledge sharing. Finally, examining the effect of OCB’s sub-constructs on KS in an Iranian public sector would contribute to the literature by broadening the examination of the constructs in a different context.

PurposeMechanisms behind employees’ pro-environmental behaviors have increasingly been attracting scholarly attention. The purpose of this study is to examine how environmentally specific servant leadership contributes to employees’ organizational citizenship behavior for the environment (employee OCBE).Design/methodology/approachIn this research, employees from resort hotels in Central Vietnam were selected as participants. The data analysis was conducted through structural equation modeling and bootstrapping test.FindingsEnvironmentally specific servant leadership exhibited the positive association with employee OCBE through employee environmental engagement as a mediator. Two moderation mechanisms – organizational support for green behaviors and person-group fit – were also found to serve as enhancers for the effect of environmentally specific servant leadership on employee OCBE.Practical implicationsThe research results provide hospitality organizations with a premise for the focus of servant leadership and organizational support around pro-environmental values. It is also vital for practitioners to build the fit between employees and the organization’s pro-environmental values so as to further promote their positive reaction to environmentally specific servant leadership and engagement in pro-environmental behaviors.Originality/valueThe present study marks the confluence between environmentally specific servant leadership and employee OCBE research streams and provides a moderated mediation mechanism to shed light on such a relationship.

PurposeThis study aims to investigate the effects of transformational and transactional leaders’ behaviors on employees’ affective commitment and organizational citizenship behavior in the context of nonprofit organizations (NPOs). Additionally, this study attempts to examine the role of work engagement, as an intervening mechanism as work engagement in NPOs has been empirically neglected (Park et al., 2018).Design/methodology/approachData were conducted from 400 employees working in Italian NPOs in the North of Italy. For verifying the hypotheses of this study, structural equation modeling techniques were implemented.FindingsIt was found that both transformational and transactional leaderships influenced positively affective commitment and organizational citizenship behavior, and work engagement was revealed to have significant positive mediating effects on the relationship between the variables examined in this study.Practical implicationsThe results of this study may be beneficial to leaders and supervisors of NPOs, specifically regarding the influence of the leaders’ behaviors on the employees’ outcomes.Originality/valueDue to the limited number of studies conducted on leadership in nonprofit organizations, this study theoretically and empirically contributes to the leadership literature as it is the first study to investigate the two styles of leadership on work-related outcomes via work engagement in the nonprofit sector.

Purpose Therefore, this study aims to explore the relationships among OC, KS, OCB and OI “Organization” is often seen as a company and few studies pay much attention to tribes and other related organizations and communities of Indigenous peoples. However, Indigenous peoples production organizations (IPPOs) would be certainly influenced by factors from the internal/external, including organizational culture (OC), organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), knowledge sharing (KS) and organizational innovation (OI). Therefore, this study aims to explore the relationships among OC, KS, OCB and OI. Design/methodology/approach Based on valid 139 Indigenous workers in IPPOs, this study used structural equation modeling to validate the relationships among OC, OCB, KS and OI. Findings The empirical findings indicate that OC would significantly influence OCB and OI, whereas KS would not have significant impact on OI. In addition, OC would not influence KS as usual, whereas OCB would do. Finally, OCB would impact KS. Practical implications As OCB acts as a complete mediator in OC–KS relationship, it means that these IPPOs already have OCB to motivate their staffs to do KS, but not enough to achieve more excellent performance on innovation. Originality/value Compared to past studies, this study aims to investigate the theory of organizational behavior and whether it is suitable between general businesses and IPPOs.
