Abstract

Purpose

Organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) was initially described as discretionary behavior not formally rewarded by the organization. However, empirical evidence has indicated that many non-task behaviors are compulsory and contribute to performance evaluation, leading to research on nondiscretionary OCB (e.g. compulsory citizenship, citizenship pressure). It is unclear whether these behaviors are best described as OCB, in-role behavior or a separate construct. The goal of the current study is to determine the conceptual and measurement overlap between OCB and nondiscretionary OCB.

Design/methodology/approach

In a quantitative survey design, we collected multiphasic data from 315 employees to provide evidence for the convergent/divergent validity of compulsory citizenship behavior within the OCB nomological network and separate from in-role behavior.

Findings

The results support a unique contribution of compulsory citizenship behavior to the operationalization of OCB by emphasizing the employees’ perceptions of whether they perform OCB autonomously.

Originality/value

This research shows a distinction that should be recognized in future research, as existing OCB theories may only apply to discretionary OCB, such that compelled citizenship is not OCB. This would explain why compulsory OCB incurs less benefits than other forms of externally-motivated (i.e. impression management) OCB.

组织公民行为名义网络中的强制性公民行为调查
目的组织公民行为(OCB)最初被描述为不受组织正式奖励的自由裁量行为。然而,经验证据表明,许多非任务行为都是强制性的,并有助于绩效评估,从而引发了对非自由裁量的组织公民行为(如强制性公民行为、公民压力)的研究。目前还不清楚这些行为是最适合被描述为 OCB、角色内行为,还是一个独立的概念。设计/方法/途径在定量调查设计中,我们收集了 315 名员工的多相数据,为强制性公民行为在 OCB 名义网络中的收敛/发散有效性以及与角色内行为的分离提供证据。研究结果通过强调员工对其是否自主执行 OCB 的感知,支持了强制性公民行为对 OCB 操作化的独特贡献。原创性/价值这项研究显示了未来研究中应认识到的区别,因为现有的 OCB 理论可能只适用于自由裁量的 OCB,因此强制性公民行为不是 OCB。这也就解释了为什么强制性公民自主创业比其他形式的外部激励型(即印象管理)公民自主创业所带来的收益要少。
