Abstract In this research on the one hand we analyzed the relationship that exists in terms of motivational persistence and the Big Five dimensions and, on the other hand, organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). The results show that the conscientiousness has been identified as being in a significant positive relationship with OCB. This result is consistent with the data provided by previous researchers. The results also indicate that three conscientiousness facets are in a positive relationship with OCB. These three conscientiousness facets are self-efficacy, cautiousness and orderliness. Agreeableness was not identified as being associated with OCB. At the level of the relationship between motivational persistence factors and OCB, we have identified a significant positive relationship with only one factor: current purpose pursuing. The OCB model has two variables that work best as predictors: high scores with regard to current purpose in terms of the pursuing-motivational persistence factor, and low scores in terms of the imagination-facet of openness to experience.

Based on the results of the study it is concluded that: (1) there is a very significant positive relationship between the Principal Transformational Leadership and Organizational Citizenship Behavior of teachers with a simple linear regression equation Ŷ = 99.53 + 0.32 X1 and the correlation coefficient value ry.1 = 0.417. The coefficient of determination r2y.1 = 0.174 means that the Transformational Leadership (X1) contributes to the teacher's Organizational Citizenship Behavior by 17.40%, (2) there is a very significant positive relationship between Interpersonal Communication with Organizational Citizenship Behavior teachers with simple linear regression equations Ŷ = 100.44 + 0.29 X2 and the correlation coefficient ry.2 = 0.349, and the coefficient of determination r2y.2 = 0.116 which means that the contribution of Interpersonal Communication (X2) to the Organizational Citizenship Behavior of the teacher is 19.60%,  (3) there is a very significant positive relationship between Transformational Leadership and Interpersonal Communication together with the Organizational Citizenship Behavior of teachers with the multiple linear regression equation Ŷ = 77.25 +0.27 X1 +0.21 X2 and the correlation coefficient value ry.12 = 0.152.

This study focuses on investigating the relationship between personality and leadership supports the claim that individual differences may be the predictors of leadership effectiveness in contemporary organizations. Extended studies stress that ‘Big-Five ‘personality dimensions are related to leadership criteria and further identified introversion-extroversion as a key element of an individual personality. In general, the main differences between effective and less effective leaders are that, effective leaders make positive differences to themselves from their personality traits and the relationship building with followers. However, relatively few studies have tested how and why introvert and extrovert leaders’ personality traits relate to follower behaviors. In addition, if so; the mechanisms through which a leader’s personality traits relate to follower behaviors. Accordingly, the aims of the present study are to examine whether the introverted and extroverted personality traits of leaders affect the organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) of followers and to examine the role of leader-member relationship as a moderator, in social exchange process. To advance the understanding of these, simple regression analysis and regression analysis with moderator effects were performed to test hypotheses with a sample size of 46 introvert managers and 50 extrovert managers as leaders and 92 and 100 subordinates as their followers respectively from IT industry in Sri Lanka. The study found that there is a positive direct effect of introverted personality traits of leaders and no negative direct effect of extroverted personality traits of leaders on organizational citizenship behavior of followers. Yet, leader-member relationship moderates the positive and negative relationships between introverted, extroverted personality traits of leaders and organizational citizenship behavior of followers. Present study makes several theoretical contributions to path-goal theory of leadership with the support from theory of trait leadership and big five model. Further, managerial contributions of the present study make IT firms successful through better selection of leaders based on personality traits which facilitates organizational citizenship behavior.KeywordsIntroverted personality traits, extroverted personality traits, OCB, Leader-member relationship, IT industry in Sri Lanka

Today, organizations have to give a positive image to their internal and external stakeholders. There is a need for a positive image for employees to strive for the benefit of the organization. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between the perception of organizational image and organizational citizenship behavior of academicians. In order to address this objective the organizational image questionnaire which was developed by Uluçay (2012), and organizational citizenship questionnaire which was developed for higher education institutions by Taşçı and Koç (2007) were used. The questionnaire was applied to 340 academicians. The results show that organizational image perception of the academicians differs significantly according to gender and type of university. According to the findings, organizational image perceptions of female academicians are higher than male academicians, and it is found that organizational image of foundation universities is higher compared to state universities. Also, there is a significant relationship between academicians’ organizational citizenship behavior and certain variables such as age, vocational seniority and working year in university. As academicians’ age, professional seniority and working year in university increase, so does their performance of organizational citizenship behavior. The results show that there is a positive relationship between organizational citizenship behavior and organizational image.

The present study investigated the Big Five personality factors as predictors of citizenship behaviors directed towards individuals (OCBI) and towards the organization (OCBO). The Big Five Inventory by Donahue & Kentle (1991) and Organizational Citizenship Behavior Scale by Lee and Allen (2002) were used and the sample comprised of 325 clerical employees, from nationalized and co-operative banks in Maharashtra. Findings revealed that openness emerged as the strongest predictor of both OCBI and OCBO, followed by extraversion. Moreover, openness fully mediated the relationship between agreeableness and OCBI, whereas extraversion partially mediated the relationship between agreeableness and OCBI. Openness and extraversion also partially mediated the relationship between conscientiousness and OCBO.

The present study was an endeavor to extend the literature of perceived organizational politics by examining its moderating role between the relationship of organizational citizenship behavior and production deviance. Organizational Citizenship Behavior Scale (Mackenzie, Podsakoff, & Paine, 1999), Production Deviance sub-scale of Counterproductive Work Behavior Checklist-32 (Spector et al., 2006), and Perception of Organizational Politics Scale (Kacmar & Carlson, 1997) were used in present study. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that low levels of perceived organizational politics moderated the relationship between courtesy and production deviance by strengthening the negative relationship of these behaviors while perceived organizational politics did not act as a moderator for the relationship of civic virtue and conscientiousness with production deviance. High level of go-along-to-get-ahead as a moderator strengthened the relationship of civic virtue and conscientiousness with production deviance and its low level was found to be moderating the relationship between courtesy and production deviance. Future implications of the study were also discussed.
