“…Popescu and Deaconu (2013) discovered a connection between OCB and overall school adequacy. Somech and Oplatka (2014) identified three directions of OCB in the school context: OCB toward students, colleagues, and the school as cited by Gnanarajan et al (2020).…”

“…The study of Gnanarajan et al (2020) identified a variety of factors related to teacher OCB in schools including "work-family conflict, perceived organizational support, teacher values, teachers' self-efficacy, student behaviour patterns, and teachers' pupil control ideologies" (p. 95). Gnanarajan et al (2020) suggested administrators pay close attention to ensure teachers do not become overburdened by work duties, avoid work-family conflicts, provide support for teachers' work and personal needs on the job, and ensure appropriate professional development to ensure teachers have the necessary skills to handle student discipline issues and avoid stress related issues. Administrators are encouraged to ensure the workplace recognizes and aligns school goals with teachers' values (Hanson, 2017).…”

“…To begin, school leaders can work with the faculty to identify and clarify a common purpose, identify how the organization/group solves problems, match the individuals' goals and skills with school goals and job duties needed in the organization, and schedule time together during the work day to develop team identities, promote emotional safety (so individuals and teams can challenge their assumptions), and identify targeted professional development to improve skills (Hanson, 2017). Quality professional development programs for teachers have been shown to enhance their self-efficacy in the job and positive outlook at work leading to improvements in teacher OCB (Gnanarajan et al, 2020).…”

Organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB) is a crucial foundation of every human organization. The main purpose of this review paper is to highlight the importance of the OCB in educational settings. Educational institutes have leaders, employees and resources (tangible and intangible). OCB dimensions, in particular: altruism, civic virtue, courtesy, consciousness and sportsmanship, have shown great significance in making associations between employees more powerful thereby improving group performance and influencing positive outcomes of the organization and improvements in school outcomes (as nonprofit service institutions) require the expression of OCB by their employees. Organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB) to stem negative behaviours and enhance positive workplace behaviours. Research has shown the benefits of critically examining the development of OCB in both school leadership and educators. This narrative review of the OCB construct focuses on the role, types, existence of, measurement of, and importance of OCB in educational settings. Implications for the next steps in the process are provided for policymakers, administrators, and teachers to promote OCB in their schools.

PurposeDrawing on Bandura's social cognitive theory, the present study examines the relationship between teacher self-efficacy and student misbehaviour, while exploring the moderating effects of teacher gender using gender schema theory.Design/methodology/approachThe structural equation modelling examined the study model. Data were collected using self-report questionnaires from 464 teachers in secondary schools in Sri Lanka.FindingsThe results revealed that teachers' self-efficacy in overall teaching negatively correlated with student misbehaviour. Teacher gender had no moderating effects, implying an indistinct patriarchal influence on which the hypothesis was based.Practical implicationsThe present study offers suggestions and practical recommendations in the areas of classroom management, school leadership, teacher education, and education administration on ways to enhance teachers' self-efficacy, particularly their self-efficacy in managing students' problematic behaviours. The findings of the study may also imply that the patriarchal dominance in Sri Lankan households may be waning.Originality/valueThis research is the first ever to apply gender schema theory to explore the moderating effects of gender in the self-efficacy–student misbehaviour relationship.

Employee readiness for change: examining the combined effects of individual and organizational demands in public school reform

PurposeThe paper aims to clarify how work-specific characteristics at both the individual and organizational level influence professional civil servants’ readiness for change during the implementation of reforms in public administration. We examine the influence of work characteristics at the individual and organizational levels, such as reform-related strains, organizational climate, and organizational professionalism, on the employees’ response to change. In addition, we also consider the interaction between these specific work characteristics.Design/methodology/approachThis article employs a quantitative multi-level analysis to examine the influence of individual and collective predictors of employees' readiness for change. For our analysis, we used data from the evaluation of a school reform in Switzerland aimed at aligning teachers' working conditions with those of other administrative employees. The survey conducted for the evaluation includes responses from 2,162 teachers.FindingsOur study expands the understanding in public management research of work characteristics that either promote or reduce employees’ readiness for change in the public sector. Our findings suggest that the organizational level, in our case the school level, influences the individual’s response to change. Furthermore, the role of organizational professionalism in terms of a reform-related transformation of the identities, structures, and practices of the actors concerned is highlighted as a potential stressor and catalyst that reinforces the negative correlation between reform-related stress and willingness to change.Practical implicationsThis paper offers insights into how public managers can effectively overcome challenges in the implementation process of public school reforms. This also includes the awareness among change agents that positively associated changes at the organizational level may have negative consequences at the individual level, due to the fact that they affect professional understanding, for example, which may cause the affected actors to respond with resistance.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to the small number of multi-level research studies on the responses to change in public administration and answers the call for research to investigate the hurdles that may arise when implementing change. Further, the paper contributes to the literature on the impact of new public management (NPM) on the identity of professional civil servants.
