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

This research investigates the effect of workplace spirituality and perceived organizational support on the organizational citizenship behavior of the employees working at one of the factories in Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia. The number of employees becomes the population is 404, and the total samples are 198, obtained by the Isaac and Michael formula and taken by simple random technique. Moreover, we utilize the survey and structural equation model based on covariance to receive the responses from the employees through questionnaires and analyze the proposed effects through hypothesis examination. To conclude, this research demonstrates that workplace spirituality is needed to enhance employees' organizational citizenship behavior level. Meanwhile, perceived organizational support does not. Based on this evidence, some implications are also discussed.

<p><em>The purpose of this study was to explore the role of Affective Commitment (AC) as a mediating variable in encouraging organizational citizenship behavior in Private Universities in Central Java, Indonesia. The study explains whether Affective Commitment (AC) is able to mediate the relationship between Leadership Style (LS) and Subjective Well-being (SWB)  with Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB). The sample in this study is permanent staff and lecturers who work in Private Universities in Central Java. Data from 124 respondents were collected by utilizing the questionnaire.The sample sample used in this study is 150 respondents. It was taken by applying proportional random sampling.  Only the 150 questionnaires distributed, 124 were returned, for a response rate of 82%.After processing and modifying the data, only 124 respondents used as the main resources analyzed by using Structural Equation Model (SEM). Statistical analysis reveals that there exists significant relationship between </em><em>Subjective well-being, </em><em>Leadership Style</em><em>, and Organizational Citizenship Behavior; likewise, Affective commitment  mediates the relationship between </em><em>Subjective well-being, </em><em>Leadership Style</em><em>, and Organizational Citizenship Behavior. Limitations and future implementations of this research are also discussed</em><em></em></p>

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.
