Value Fit

Nowadays, research on employer branding is still growing. A specific focus on branding in the higher education sector is still limited, so this research investigates how employer branding impacts organization citizenship behavior and whether person-organization value fit mediates this relationship on a sample of 332 academic staff members working in the private higher education sector in Egypt. The data collection was performed using a self-administered survey. The research employs correlation and regression analysis to test the research hypotheses.  First, the results revealed a moderately significant effect of employer branding practices on organizational citizenship behavior. Second, person-organization value fit has a positive significant mediation effect on the relationship between employer branding and organizational citizenship behavior. These results will help private universities determine to what extent investing in building a strong employer brand will help retain academic staff members.   Received: 7 October 2020 / Accepted: 11 December 2020 / Published: 17 January 2021

The Relationship

PurposeThis paper aims to explore the relationship between job characteristics (JC) and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) moderated by job satisfaction (JS) among educators in the higher education institutions in the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates and Oman, taking into consideration that most educators at the higher education institutions in this area are expatriates.Design/methodology/approachA sample of 157 faculty members and instructors was used. Five job characteristics (skill variety, task identity, task significance, autonomy and feedback) and five OCB behaviors (altruism, civic virtue, courtesy, conscientiousness, and sportsmanship) were studied. The overall job satisfaction was measured with seven general items adopted from Al-Damour and Awamleh (2002). Data were collected voluntarily using social media network announcements and pencil and paper. Structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis was used in testing this moderation relationship.FindingsResults showed that job satisfaction plays a significant moderating effect in enhancing the relationship between four out of the five job characteristics (feedback, skill variety, task identity and autonomy) and only two out of five OCB behaviors, namely, altruism and courtesy. Also, culture showed no significant impact on results.Research limitations/implicationsUsing a self-reporting tool, the respondents could give biased responses that might influence results. In addition, the use a complex relationship to establish a causality relationship among many variables measured with many items did make it difficult and sometimes errored out using SEM analysis.Practical implicationsThis study delivers important suggestions to the management of these institutions as well as higher education administration about how to enhance their educators’ OCBs as a source of competitive advantage taking into consideration that expatriates work within certain legal and social contexts.Originality/valueWith very limited related research covering this region, this study provides an insight into how educators’ OCBs can be enhanced within unique employment structures and policies designed for expatriate educators in the GCC countries.

Islamic Perspective

This study aims to validate and confirm a structural equation modeling (hypothesized model) of organizational citizenship behavior from Islamic perspective (OCBIP) practices in Indonesian state Islamic higher education institutions. This study employed a quantitative survey method to collect the data from 450 academic staff of six States Islamic Higher Education Institutions across Indonesia using a five-point organizational citizenship behavior scale based on Islamic perspective. A descriptive analysis technique was performed to comprehend the respondents view on the practice of underlying factor, followed by the application of confirmatory factor analysis and full-fledge SEM. The study’s findings exhibited that the academic staff in the sampled higher institutions of learning had high inclination and passion for practicing OCBIP in their respective working place. Results also showed a high degree of OCBIP practices by academic staff in selected higher education institutions. Theoretically, the study also established a four factor model of OCBIP practices such as altruism, civic virtue, advocating high moral standards (da’wah), and removing harm (raf’al haraj). The result was deliberated through SEM on the observed instruments, and the hypothesized model of OCBIP under the study was empirically valid and reliable. The findings provided a remarkable contribution for institutions of higher learning and top management to intensify the operation of OCB based on Islamic perspective in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). The practical contributions guide the academic staff, particularly in Indonesian state Islamic higher education institutions and other regions, to embrace all principal human resource development and management practices. The study has successfully tested, formulated, and validated the hypothesized model of organizational citizenship behavior based on the Islamic perspective for Indonesian State Islamic Higher Education Institutions.

The Relationship

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.

Drawing on the theory of conservation of resources (COR), the purpose of this study is to examine the mechanisms through which employee organizational citizenship behavior and job performance are affected by positive psychological status at work. Structural equation modeling was applied to analyze the data collected from 543 police officers in Northern Taiwan. The empirical results reveal that organizational psychological ownership positively associated with psychological capital, and psychological capital positively associated with both job performance and organizational citizenship behavior. Additionally, this study demonstrates that the relationship between organizational psychological ownership and job performance and organizational citizenship behavior are both fully mediated by psychological capital. Organizational psychological ownership and psychological capital are both positive psychological strengths to assist employees facing stressful work circumstances. The importance of examining the relationship between the components of organizational psychological ownership, psychological capital, job performance, and organizational citizenship behavior is pointed out due to the importance of organizations promoting the development of psychological resources to promote sustainable positive behavior and results in the workplace.
