摘要:Organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) is a newly emerging concept in the literature of organization behavior. Despite an increasing number of studies on Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB), no unifying work is focused on the measurement of degree of change in OCB in a public sector organization and a private sector organization. We hypothesized that there is a significant difference in the degree of OCB of employees in public sector and private sector organization. Data were collected from 200 employees consisting of managerial and non-managerial staff from both the public sector and private sector organizations. The results showed that employees in public sector organization have greater degree of OCB in comparison to private sector organizations and also the job satisfaction increases or decreases based on increase or decrease in OCB. The purpose of this study is to invoke Organization Citizenship Behavior in private sector organization. Obtained result was in the line of the hypotheses. In terms of organizational citizenship behavior; a significant difference is noticed between public sector and private sector organization. As expected, public sector employees have exhibited higher degree of OCB as compared to private sector employees. Most importantly, organizational citizenship behavior is being proven as the catalyst for enhancing job satisfaction level of employees.
