The paper in your hand basically addresses the issue of organizational citizenship behavior in a particular context of Pakistani universities teachers. As education is most neglected area in Pakistan, we want to give better understanding of the concept of OCB. This paper will provide guidelines to researchers, teachers, education sector, and other education related institutions to form such policies which can help to increase the higher education standard. Our sample size is 274 university teachers from both public and private sector, including male and female, age ranges from 25 to 60 and teaching experience ranges from less than one year to 10 years. We have taken different HR practices implemented in universities and we studied their impact on the organizational citizenship behavior with mediating effect of organizational commitment it is found significantly positive from. So, we have concluded that by practicing all these independent variables in an effective and efficient way we can increase organizational commitment and it ultimately positively affect the employee positive and cooperative kind of behaviors i-e OCB

Though considerable research has been conducted on ethical leadership, we still know very little about the antecedents to ethical leadership perceptions. Drawing primarily from social learning theory, we propose a process model by which leader Machiavellianism affects ethical leadership, which is then hypothesized to influence psychological empowerment. In addition, we propose that team member role performance and organization-directed organizational citizenship behavior will be consequences of psychological empowerment. Drawing from a sample of 242 employees reporting to 82 leaders, our findings broadly demonstrate support for our hypotheses and advance our understanding of both antecedents and outcomes of ethical leadership. We discuss the theoretical implications of our findings, along with the practical insights, limitations, and future research opportunities.

Multiple regression analysis was used to test the research hypothesis. Findings The empirical findings indicate that ethical leadership positively influences employee OCB. Organizational commitment mediates the relationship between ethical leadership and employee OCB. Furthermore, the effect of ethical leadership on employee OCB directly and indirectly (via organizational commitment) is moderated by workplace ostracism. Originality/value This paper adds to knowledge about the relationship between ethical leadership and employee OCB and contributes to better understand workplace ostracism.

This paper examined psychological capital in two types of organizations: public and private schools. This study explained how psychological capital effects organizational commitment and organizational citizenship behavior in public and private schools. The sample includes 150 employees, 75 each from two types of schools. Various dimensions of Psychological Capital were measured by scale developed by Luthan, Youssef & Avolio. Organizational Commitment was measured by Allen & Meyer’s scale and Organizational Citizenship Behavior by a scale developed by Podsakoff. The result obtained from Pearson correlation and stepwise multiple regressions and it showed that all the dimensions of psychological capital were significantly different in the both the kind of schools. Regression analyses showed that psychological capital as a whole can predict organizational commitment and organizational citizenship behavior in both kinds of schools. The theoretical framework proposed in the paper on Psychological Capital would help the researchers and management people to understand the impact of Psychological Capital on organizational commitment and organizational citizenship behavior. It also supports the view of previous researchers that Psychological Capital is a significant positive organizational behavior variable, as it is capable of performance improvement and is open to development.

This study provides insights about the relationship between job insecurity, honesty-humility, and reciprocity and organization citizenship behavior, whereas impression management plays its role of a mediator. Data collected using a questionnaire from 710 contractual employees from public and private sector universities of southern Punjab, Pakistan. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis are used for scale validation and regression analysis to test the following hypothesis. A comparative analysis was conducted to know citizenship behavioral intentions of public and private sector contractual teaching staff. A T-test approach was utilized for comparing two samples. No significant difference among private and public sector teaching staff was found regarding organizational citizenship behavior. All other hypothesis, directly and indirectly, were supported with positive impacts, except job insecurity which found having a negative direct relation with both impression management and organization citizenship behavior. The study provides useful insights for both academicians and universities’ administration.
