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 objective of this study is to determine the association between psychological empowerment and two behavioral outcomes of employee (i.e. organizational citizenship behavior and knowledge sharing behavior) by examining the mediating role of employee engagement and the moderating role of leader-member exchange. A survey was completed by employees working in different corporations and jobs. The data were collected by self- administered questionnaire and analyzed by using correlation and regression analysis. Results indicate that psychological empowerment positively influences organizational citizenship behavior and knowledge sharing behavior. In addition, employee engagement partially mediates the relationship between psychological empowerment and organizational citizenship behavior and fully mediates between psychological empowerment and knowledge sharing behavior. Psychological empowerment has a positive significant relationship with the employee engagement whereas leader-member exchange does not moderate the relationship between psychological empowerment and employee engagement. The implications of these findings are discussed.

The Relationship

Context: Psychological capital is among new study aspects of interest to researchers of human capital, organizational behavior and psychology. On the other hand, Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) has been a focused subject by researchers due to increasing empirical evidence of OCB's impact on individual and organizational performance. Aim: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between psychological capital and organizational citizenship behavior among staff nurses. Methods: Design: A descriptive correlational design was used to conduct this study at Obstetrics and Gynecological Hospital on one hundred and nine nursing staff. Data collection tools include psychological capital Scale and organizational citizenship behavior scale. Results: The present study showed that the mean dimensions of self-efficacy 3.60±0.48 and optimism 3.25±0.45 had the highest and the lowest mean, respectively, of psychological capital. The results revealed that as for the dimensions of organizational citizenship behavior, the dimension of altruism (4.06±0. 62) while Civic virtue (civilized behavior had the lowest mean (3.80±0.52) and shows that the total mean score of organizational Citizenship Behavior were 3.91±0.41. Conclusions: There is a highly statistically significant positive correlation between total staff nurses' perspectives regarding psychological capital and their total organizational citizenship behavior. The study recommended that hospital administrators should promote organizational citizenship behavior and, consequently, psychological capital by involving employees in decisions, consult with them, and intervention programs for nurses should be carried out to enhance their level of psychological capital.

This study aims to investigate the effect of servant leadership on organizational citizenship behavior and knowledge-sharing behavior. It further explores servant leadership for its potential mediation of work engagement and moderation of self-efficacy in organizational citizenship behavior and knowledge-sharing behavior. Time-lagged data was collected from 264 respondents from Pakistan’s banking sector via convenience sampling. The relationships between servant leadership and organizational citizenship behavior, servant leadership and knowledge-sharing behavior were analyzed through partial least squares structural equation modeling. The results of this analysis reveals that the effect of servant leadership on organizational citizenship behavior and knowledge-sharing behavior is significant in that work engagement acts as a mediator, and follower’s self-efficacy plays the role of moderator. Based upon social exchange theory, the study supports that servant leadership increases citizenship and knowledge-sharing behavior. In addition, the study provides an understanding of how servant leadership mediates work engagement for pragmatic synergetic outcomes in a Pakistani context. The study’s implications and limitations are also discussed, and suggestions for future research are noted.

I measured social loafing as perceived by leaders and members independently, and assessed the effect of each party's perception of members' social loafing on the leader–member exchange relationship, in-role performance, organizational citizenship behavior, and knowledge-sharing behavior. Participants were 333 leader–member dyads from 12 organizations in South Korea, and data were collected in two waves. I performed polynomial regression and response surface analyses and tested the mediating effect of leader–member exchange. As hypothesized, perceived social loafing congruence had a direct effect on leader–member exchange, and an indirect effect via leader–member exchange on in-role performance, organizational citizenship behavior, and knowledge-sharing behavior. Theoretical and practical implications of congruence in perceptions of social loafing are discussed.

The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between psychological empowerment and two behavioral outcomes of an employee (organizational citizenship behavior and knowledge sharing behavior) by examining the mediating role of employee engagement and moderating role of leader-member exchange. A survey was completed by 146 employees working in a variety of jobs and organizations. The data were collected by self- administered questionnaire and then analyzed by using correlation and regression analysis. Results indicate that psychological empowerment positively influences organizational citizenship behavior and knowledge sharing behavior. In addition, employee engagement partially mediates the relationship between psychological empowerment and organizational citizenship behavior and fully mediates between psychological empowerment and knowledge sharing behavior. Leader-member exchange does not moderate the relationship between psychological empowerment and employee engagement. Psychological empowerment has positive relationship with the employee engagement for employees low in leader-member exchange than for employees high in leader-member exchange. The implications of these findings are discussed.

The Relationship

Drawing on the theory of conservation of resources (COR), the purpose of this study is to examine the mechanisms through which employee organizational citizenship behavior and job performance are affected by positive psychological status at work. Structural equation modeling was applied to analyze the data collected from 543 police officers in Northern Taiwan. The empirical results reveal that organizational psychological ownership positively associated with psychological capital, and psychological capital positively associated with both job performance and organizational citizenship behavior. Additionally, this study demonstrates that the relationship between organizational psychological ownership and job performance and organizational citizenship behavior are both fully mediated by psychological capital. Organizational psychological ownership and psychological capital are both positive psychological strengths to assist employees facing stressful work circumstances. The importance of examining the relationship between the components of organizational psychological ownership, psychological capital, job performance, and organizational citizenship behavior is pointed out due to the importance of organizations promoting the development of psychological resources to promote sustainable positive behavior and results in the workplace.
