Relationship between Organizational Environment and Teachers' Citizenship Behaviour at Public Universities of Punjab

Abstract

This research was about the relationship between the organizational environment and teachers' citizenship behavior in public universities in the Punjab province. All the university teachers were the population. From the 6 randomly selected universities, 400 university teachers were used as the research sample. The data was collected through a questionnaire consisting of a Likert five-point scale and analyzed using MS-Excel 2010 and the 20th version of the social science statistical software package. The relationship between the two variables was computed by using the Pearson product moment (r). The research results showed that there was a significant weak relationship between the organizational environment and teachers' citizenship behavior

Antecedents of organizational citizenship behavior among the academic staff in Begemidir college of teacher education

“…This may imply that, as a range of literature documented, other precursors such as the staff personal characteristics (Chahal & Mehta, 2010;Chiaburu et al, 2015) and the task characteristics (Somech & Ron, 2007;Podsakoff et al, 2000) or any other demographic or personality related factors might have played indispensable roles to the staff of the college in displaying OCBs. The current result, in general, is consistent with Sajid and Akhtar (2020) and Tahseen (2014) who reported high level of teachers' OCB in HEIs whereas it has discrepancies with Samuel et al (2023) and Endris and Dawit (2019) who indicated the meager engagement of teachers in OCB.…”

Accordingly, nowadays, it necessitates employees to exhibit discretionary behavior and responsibilities beyond their formally prescribed jobs because the education system is steadily moving into an era of unprecedented competition, reorganization, and universalization coupled with a complex work environment (Sajid & Akhtar, 2020).…”

“…Organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) is one of the emerging management concepts that are increasingly gaining the attention of organizational behaviorists and managers (Bashir et al, 2012). These days it has already become the focal area of researchers and practitioners across the globe (Majeed et al, 2017;Sajid & Akhtar, 2020). Robbins and Judge (2019) expounded that employees with a good OCB are highly essential in today's dynamic work environment where tasks are increasingly requiring communication, teamwork and flexibility.…”

Reflection of Core Essentials of Global Citizenship with respect to Social Responsibility among teachers of Higher Learning Institutions

“…The values of teachers are essential to human survival. The behaviour, goals, and values of GCE and global citizens can be reinforced by teachers of institutions in terms that are practical, analytical, moral, and institutional (Sajid, Jamil & Abbas, 2022;Banks, 2009;Banks, 2004).…”
