Key predictors of employee commitment and organizational citizenship behavior

Abstract

Employee Commitment is the bondage an employee possesses towards his organization. Building Employee Commitment (EC) to the work place is the need of the hour for all the organizations. Nowadays no organization can execute at high level unless otherwise employees are committed to the organizations goals. Commitment could be described as the Holy Grail of organizational performance and business psychology. Hence, it is significant to recognize the concept of commitment and its feasible outcomes. Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) is assumed as one of the rising management perception of managerial efficacy. This study intends to focus on key predictors of employee commitment and organizational citizenship behavior. A quantitative research is employed to explore the predictors of EC and OCB. The study identified six factors that predicted employee commitment and five factors that predicted organizational citizenship behavior.
