Sharing Behavior

This study investigates the effects of employees' positively oriented organizational behavior and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) use on knowledge sharing behavior after a two-month period. Based on previous research, it was expected that: (1) organizational citizenship behavior would be positively related to knowledge sharing behavior; (2) psychological capital would be positively related to knowledge sharing behavior; (3) OCB would mediate the relationship between psychological capital and knowledge sharing behavior; (4) psychological empowerment would be positively related to knowledge sharing behavior; and (5) OCB would mediate the relationship between psychological empowerment and knowledge sharing behavior. Results provided support for the direct effects of OCB, psychological capital and psychological empowerment on knowledge sharing behavior. Psychological capital and psychological empowerment were each indirectly related to knowledge sharing behavior, mediate by OCB. To be more precise, individuals with higher level of psychological capital and psychological empowerment were not only more likely to participate in organizational citizenship behavior but having a higher level of positively orientated organizational behavior made them to engage more in knowledge sharing behavior two months later.

The Relationship

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of the perceived authentic leadership of supervisors and employees’ core self-evaluations on their organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and to examine the role of psychological empowerment as a partial mediator of those relationships. Design/methodology/approach A cross-sectional survey was used to obtain individual perceptions from employees working in one of the biggest companies in Korea. Data from 374 samples was analyzed. Construct validity of each measurement model is examined using confirmatory factor analysis and the hypothesized structural model is tested by structural equation modeling. Findings The authors found that perceived authentic leadership, core self-evaluation, and employees’ psychological empowerment had significant impact on employees’ OCB, accounting for 58 percent of the variance in OCB. In addition, 54 percent of the variance in psychological empowerment was explained by authentic leadership and core self-evaluations, partially mediating the relationship between authentic leadership and OCB and the relationship between core self-evaluations and OCB. Originality/value Positivity is instrumental in driving intrinsic motivation for work and voluntary devotion to colleagues and organizations. This study contributed to the emerging research branch of management and organizational psychology such as positive organization scholarship and positive organizational behavior by exploring the relationship among the relevant constructs. More specifically, the authors found that positive contextual factor (i.e. authentic leadership), positive personality factor (i.e. core self-evaluations), and positive work experience (i.e. psychological empowerment) do have positive influence on employees’ extra-role performance (i.e. OCB).

Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) is defined as an employee's voluntary behavior which is not formally rewarded in spite of its potential to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the organization. This study aimed to investigate the mediating effect of psychological empowerment in the relationship between perception of workload and OCB. This study used the approach-avoidance motivation as the theoretical framework. Research data were collected using the snowball sampling method that was implemented in an online survey that targeted employees of various private organizations in Indonesia (N = 201). The measures used in this study were the 9-item workload subscale of the Job Demand-Resource Scale, 12-item Psychological Empowerment Questionnaire (PEQ), and 14-item OCB subscale of the Task Performance Scale. Data were analyzed using the simple mediation regression technique of Macro PROCESS developed by Hayes for SPSS software. The results of this study showed that perceived workload has a positive effect on psychological empowerment and psychological empowerment has a positive effect on OCB. Further, results showed that psychological empowerment mediates the relationship between perceived workload and OCB.
