Ho Chi Minh City, December 31st, 2012 Nguyen Hoang Van Organizational Culture and Organizational Citizenship Behavior in the Service Industry Page i ABSTRACT Research on organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) has received considerable attention over the past several decades. OCB is defined as the discretionary contributions of employees that beyond a job description and do not formally result in reward. Previous research have identified a wide range of antecedents of OCB, including attitudinal variables (e., satisfaction, perceptions of justice, organizational commitment), individual characteristics (e., conscientiousness, agreeableness, positive affectivity) and elements within the organization (e., leadership, organizational supportiveness, task characteristics). The purpose of current study is finding out the correlation between organizational culture and OCB.
The research was done by quantitative approach. Data was collected from 342 respondents who are employees from service companies in Ho Chi Minh City. A two-step approach in SEM was employed to analyze the data. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to validate the measurement scale of organizational culture and organizational citizenship behavior.
And structural equation model (SEM) was used to measure the influence of organizational culture on OCB as well as measure the impact of each dimensions of organizational culture on OCB. The statistical result identified that organizational culture has a positive impact on OCB. Among seven dimensions of organizational culture, three dimensions affected positively on OCB: Competitiveness, Performance Orientation and Stability; four remain dimensions Social Responsibility, Innovation, Supportiveness and Emphasis on Reward did not impact on OCB. Based on result of data analysis, managerial implications have been discussed; limitations and further research directions have also been indicated.
