Leadership and Organizational Citizenship Behaviour: A Mantra to Success

Abstract

Booming organizations are a result of the workforce who go ahead of their formal job responsibilities. So, every organization is in constant search of tools by which they can increase the performance level of the employees. They seek methods to enhance the optimistic and constructive behaviour of the employees. It has been suggested by many research scholars who had highly contributed to this field that OCB is one of the most significant behaviours, and leaders can prove themselves as key factors to induce and influence these types of behaviours. The purpose of this research is to offer a framework to figure out the relationship between leadership and OCB. OCB can be defined as the positive and constructive behaviour shown by the employees willingly, going beyond the formal job requirements, which supports to enhance the overall performance of the organization. This research will try to explore how leaders influence OCB amongst team members.
