1 Introduction
1.1 Background of the studyUtilizing current resources is one of the factors for the success in any organization, and
in order to achieve the highest utilization; managers should understand the different
types of Individual Behavior inside the organization.
As defined by McShane & Von Glinow 20081, the most often discussed behavior types
are:
Task Performance. Exhibiting Organizational Citizenship. Counterproductive Work Behavior. Joining & Staying in the Organization. Maintaining Work Attendance.
Figure 1 Types of Work-Related Behavior1

Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) Inside Bahraini Organizations Page 5
While the other positive behaviors are related directly to the employees productivity
within his role; Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) focuses on extra activities
performed by the employee beyond his formal duties (Barnard, C.I. 19382 , Katz, D., &
Kahn, R.L. 19663, Organ, D.W. 19884).
OCB is important for effective functioning of an organization because its ultimate goal
is to make all the employees work toward achieving the organization goals rather than
accomplishing their duties. As a result this would get the job done in a fast and smooth
way without the limitation and delay caused by having the management involved to
solve each and every problem.
And while the global research on OCB is conducted in other cultures, those result cannotbe applied directly on local organizations. New researches are required in order to
understand OCB locally and analyze the differences, and to formulate a clear idea about
the challenges faced when applying OCB practices locally.
1.2 Statement of the ProblemAll organizations needs to improve their efficiency, Organizational Citizenship
Behavior (OCB) is critical for these organizations in order to turn the wholeorganization into an active & self-healing environment where the employees would take
the initiative to solve any difficulty that faces them with no management intervention or
overhead.
In order to embrace OCB, these organizations need to know the exact factors that affect
OCB. And while the factors that affect OCB are known, it is not clear if these
relationships would be valid in Bahrain where we have our own unique culture; this is
why these organizations needs to discover those factors specifically in the Bahraini
environment.
This research is an attempt to tap OCB inside the Bahraini Organizations in term of:
1. Gender.

2. Age.3. Nationality.4. Sector.5. Organization Size.6. Position.7. Educational level.8. Work Experience.9. Number of years with the current employer.10.Job Satisfaction.11.Evaluation of the Organization's services for the customers.
1.3 Research Objective1. Highlight the factors that affect OCB in local Organizations.2. Provide insight for future researches about the areas that need more research and
clarifications.
3. Providing a statistical reference that can be used to measure and compare OCB inBahrain.
1.4 The Significance of the ProjectThis project can be used as an exploratory research. Future researchers can use its result
to dig further in:
The relationship between OCB and the multiple groups inside the organizationsin Bahrain.
Mapping the uniqueness of Bahraini culture to the differences in OCBmotivation methods.
1.5 Definition of terms OCB: Organizational Citizenship behavior. CSB: Civil Service Bureau.

1.6 MethodologyThis report is divided into five chapters:
Chapter 1 The Introduction: covers a brief about Organizational CitizenshipBehavior. It also includes the statement of the problem, research objective
limitation and definition of terms.
Chapter 2 Literature Review: explore briefly some of the current knowledgerelated to OCB.
Chapter 3 Research methodology. Chapter 4 Data Collection and Analysis. Chapter 5 Discussion: discussion and interpretation of the research findings. Chapter 6 Conclusion: The closing chapter of the report that contain the
Summary, Conclusion and the Recommendation.
1.7 LimitationThis research is limited in the following areas:
The research is relying on an Internet survey, but many groups of employees donot have internet access or are not willing to use. Those groups are mainly low
educated and old Bahraini employees besides,Non Bahrainis field workers.
The number of employees in Bahrain is huge; any sample collected would onlyrepresent a tiny fraction of the population.

2 Literature Review2.1 Introduction
Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB): many researchers has referred to OCB asthe voluntarily behavior (beyond job duties) performed by the individual to help the
organization to achieve its goals. OCB includes Task performance, social support for
other colleges, transferring knowledge, defending the organization, proposing solution
and suggestions to enhance the organization performanceetc.
This is what many researchers concluded, such as:
Allen, T.D., Facteau, J.D. & Facteau, C.F., 20045. Bolino, M.C. & Turnley, W.H. 20056. Bolino, M.C., Turnley, W.H. & Niehoff, B.P. 20047. Coleman, V.I. & Borman, W.C. 20008. LePine, J.A., Hanson, M.A., Borman, W.C. & Motowildo, S.J., 20009. Paine, J.B. & Organ, D.W. 200010. Podsakoff, P.M., MacKenzie, S.B., Paine, J.B. & Bachrach, D.G. 200011. Vey, M.A. & Campbell, J.P., 200412.
2.2 Evolution of OCBOrgan (1990)13 Classified OCB into five categories:
1. General Compliance: performing an in-role behavior (i.e. task) well beyond theminimum required levels.
2. Altruism: helping others.3. Civic Virtue: participating in the political life of the organization.4. Sportsmanship: showing positive attitudes.5. Courtesy: treating others with respect.
While Williams and Anderson (1991)14
reclassified OCB into two dimensions:
1. OCB-I: behaviors focused toward the individual.2. OCB-O: behaviors targeted at the organization or the unit.
-

12/67
Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) Inside Bahraini Organizations Page 9
But based on the work of Coleman and Borman (2000)15 and Borman et al. (2001)16 a
three-factor model has been developed:
1. Interpersonal citizenship performance (mapped to Altruism & Courtesy in OrganModel): Helping others by offering suggestions, teaching them, directly
performing some of their tasks and providing emotional support for their
personal problems, cooperating with others by accepting suggestions, informing
them of events they should know about, putting team objectives ahead of
personal interests. Showing consideration, courtesy and tact in relation to others
as well as motivating and showing confidence in them.
2. Organizational citizenship performance (mapped to Sportsmanship, Civic virtue& General compliance in Organ Model): Favorably representing the organizationby defending and promoting it as well as expressing satisfaction and showing
loyalty by staying with the organization despite temporary difficulties.
Supporting the organization's mission and objectives, complying with
organizational rules and procedures and suggesting improvements.
3. Job/task citizenship performance (mapped to in Organ Model) persisting withextra effort despite difficult conditions. Taking the initiative to do all that is
necessary to accomplish objectives even if they are not normally a part of ones
duties and finding additional productive work to perform when ones duties are
completed. Developing knowledge and skills by taking advantage of
opportunities within the organization and outside the organization through the
use of ones own time and resources.
2.3 The Importance of OCBIt is very important for employees to be motivated not only to increase in-role
performance but also to engage in citizenship behaviors that are important to the well-
being of the organization (Organ, D.W 1988)17.
-
8/2/2019 Organisational Citizenship Behaviour (Ocb) Inside Bahraini Organizations
13/67
Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) Inside Bahraini Organizations Page 10
Moreover, job satisfaction has a significant relationship with citizenship behaviors.
Because satisfied workers would engage in citizenship behaviors as shown by many
researchers including:
Bettercourt et al., (2001)18 Bettercourt, L. A., Gwinner, K. P., & Meuter, M. L. (2001)19. Ladebo, O. (2004)20 LePine, J. A., Erez, A., & Johnson, D. E. (2002)21 Munene, J. C. (1995)22 Vigoda-Gadot, E., & Angert, L. (2007)23.
In addition, Podsakoff and MacKenzie (1997)24
found that managers, even if they do not
intend to do so, when they evaluate the performance of their employees, they involve
citizenship behaviors factor into their assessments.
Podsakoff and MacKenzie also concluded that if the performance appraisal system is
careful to emphasize civic virtue, managers may receive valuable feedback and
suggestions for improvement.
2.4 Drawback of low OCBResearches have also shown that low OCB does not only affect the voluntary activities,
but also effects the organizational duties of the employee. Ladebo (2005)25
stated that
employees with low OCB are more likely to refuse performing their task and that they
would tend to leave the organization. This was also supported by LePine et al. (2002)26
who proved the link between Low OCB and the lack of organizational commitment.
2.1 The negative sides of Overloaded OCBAlthough OCB is important, but it has to be within limits, or it would have a negative
impact. In this regard, Bolino and Turnley (2003)27
have noted that citizenship behaviors
are generally not a substitute for usual job performance. Furthermore, employees may
find citizenship behaviors more enjoyable or fulfilling than their normal job activities,
-
8/2/2019 Organisational Citizenship Behaviour (Ocb) Inside Bahraini Organizations
14/67
Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) Inside Bahraini Organizations Page 11
which may prompt them to focus more on citizenship behaviors than their regular job
duties.
While Becton J. B., Giles W. F. & Schraeder .M (2007)28 stated that Practitioners must
take steps to ensure that the weighting of the performance dimensions does not
encourage more personal gratifying OCBs at the expense of other important job
behaviors, namely, those associated with task performance.
They also stated that organizations must carefully consider the weight given to all
dimensions in the performance appraisal and rewards system, especially OCB
dimensions. Moreover, employees must clearly understand the relative importance of
OCBs in the performance appraisal and reward systems. Practitioners who include OCB
in performance appraisal and reward systems must be certain to clearly communicate therelative weight or importance of OCBs and traditional dimensions of job performance to
both raters and employees.

3 Research Methodology
3.1
Research DesignThe Research would apply the analytical approach to discover the relationships between
the different factors that might affect OCB. For this purpose, the three-factor model of
Coleman and Borman (2000)34
has been adopted.
According to that model, OCB falls into three categories:
1. Interpersonal citizenship.2. Organizational citizenship.3. Job/task citizenship.
3.2 Study PopulationThe research targets all employees in Bahrain. However, the data collection method
(internet survey) has excluded some groups which are not using the internet.

3.3 Research InstrumentsTo evaluate the above dependents, we are going to compare the effect of the following
factors:
1. Gender (Male, Female)2. Age: groups of 5 year that covers the legal working age.3. Nationality (Bahraini, None Bahraini)4. Sector (Public sector, Private Sector)5. Organization Size:
a. Micro size (less than 10 employees).b. Small size (between 10 to 49 employees).c. Middle size (between 50 to 249 employees).d. Large size (between 250 to 499 employees).e. Huge (more than 500 employees).

4.1.12 Summary of responses The sample size is 283 responses. The Survey collected 283 responses distributed over at least 66 distinct
organizations (See Appendix 1 for full list).
The sample did not cover many groups, namely:o Nationality where only 11 Non Bahrainis responded.o In the level of education only 2 respondents did not complete school, and
only 4 hold a PHD degree.
o The online collection method seems to be limited also when it comes toreaching field workers who are either non Bahrainis or Low educated
Bahrainis, which is a combination of the above two groups. Overall, the respondents average score is above Neutral (3) in all questions
except:
o Providing negative response (willing to leave) when asked about thecompany.
o Performing extra duty.See Appendix 2 for more details.

5 DiscussionIn light of the results shown in section 4, we can see that OCB might be affected by
many factors, including:-
5.1 Job satisfactionJob satisfaction is the most important factor on OCB; it affects Interpersonal
Citizenship, Organizational Citizenship, and the Overall Citizenship, which fits with
the conclusion of the other researches.
The significant of Job Satisfaction relationship with Interpersonal Citizenship is 5%
which is the maximum accepted significant level; The Numbers shows that the Not
Satisfied employees are significantly different than the others.
Still, extremely Not Satisfied employees are not significantly different; this might
be mainly because this group size is small, where only 16 responses accounting only
for 5.70% from the total sample size.
This type of citizenship is mainly about personal level of services between
employees; still the numbers indicates that a person willingness to perform those
personal services would be affected if he is not satisfied by the organization itself.
This can be logical if:
a. The other employees are responsible for his dissatisfaction.b. The level of his dissatisfaction with the organization is height, and as a
result it goes beyond his relationship with the organization to affect how
he behaves with the other.
On the other hand, Job Satisfaction has a significant relationship with Organizational
Citizenship with the P value of 0% which indicates a very strong significant level.
This is because almost each group within the sample (Extremely satisfied, Satisfied,
-
8/2/2019 Organisational Citizenship Behaviour (Ocb) Inside Bahraini Organizations
50/67
Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) Inside Bahraini Organizations Page 47
Neutral, Not satisfied, extremely Not satisfied) are significantly different from each
other except the Neutral group compared to the Not Satisfied group.
This fits with the definition of Organizational Citizenship where the employee would
be willing to defend the organization in from of others and promote its services; a set
of acts that requires a satisfied employee who love his organization.
The above two factors resulted in a strong significant level for Job Satisfaction with
the Overall Citizenship where P value is 0.9%.
Still, the relationship between Job Satisfaction and Job/Task Citizenship is not
proven by the numbers as the P value is 93.9%.Further researches are required to verify such result, because the logical relationship
is that a satisfied employee would be willing to perform more tasks (beyond or
within the scope of his duty), while the unsatisfied employee would not.
Such result might be because of:
a. The sample size is not sufficient.b. The survey has not been designed in a proper way that measures Job/Task
Citizenship accurately.
c. The previous assumption is wrong.
5.2 PositionPosition is the second important factorthat affects OCB because it affects both the
Organizational Citizenship and the Job/Task Citizenship.
Based on the results, employees at a higher position are showing higher
Organizational citizenship (significant level of 0.6%) and higher Job\Task
Citizenship (significant level of 3.7%); in both cases; the Upper Management
group are significantly different compared to the others.

51/67
Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) Inside Bahraini Organizations Page 48
This Result can be justified by:
a. Upper management is responsible for the whole performance of theorganization. His evaluation & rewards (i.e. bonus) rely on that.
b. Payment and benefits for the upper management is also different compared tothe other groups.
5.3 Work experienceWork experience is affecting only the Organizational Citizenship (significant level
of 3.1%) where employees who spent 21 years or above in the work field are more
likely to show different Organizational Citizenship attitude.
This has to be read in the light of lack of relationship between any OCB type and
both:
Age: This indicates that employees who join work at early age would get thesame affect for those who are older in age but spent the same time in the
work field.
Number of years with the current employers: leading to the conclusionthat even those who switch between organizations during their work
experience would have the same change in attitude compared to those who
spent the whole period with the same employer.
This might be a result of:
a. After such long experience, the employee would appreciate what theorganization provides him.
b. The employee has more knowledge about the company & its services andhow they are compared with the competitors.
c. The employee is under the effect of the organization`s strong culture andidentity.
-

52/67
Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) Inside Bahraini Organizations Page 49
More investigation is needed to investigate the reasons behind the delay of such
affect, where it only occurs after 21+ years of work experience.
5.4 Employee evaluate the organization`s services to customersOrganizational Citizenship is also affected by how the employee evaluate the
organization`s services to customers with the significant level of 0%, This is most
likely to be because:
a. If an employee is convinced that the products and services provided by hisorganization are superb, then he would be most likely willing to promote
them and defend the organization in front of others. He would see this as a
service for those consumers rather than a service for his organization.
b. An organization with strong culture that is communicated to its employeeswould assure that they are aware of the value provided in its products and
services even if those products are not the best.
5.5 NationalityWhile the number of non-Bahraini in the sample is low (11 respondents compared to
272 Bahrainis) accounting only for 3.9%; the statistics shows that the nationality
(Bahraini or Non Bahraini) has an effect on the Job\Task Citizenship.
This can be justified by:
a. The Sample does not reflect the real world distribution of non-Bahrainiworks over occupations where the majority of them are field workers. The
sample had only one non-Bahraini Field worker, 2 Junior office employee, 7
middle management, and 1 upper management.
b. Non Bahrainis gets more benefit compared to what they get back at home,and the provided package made them leave home and go for a foreign
country.

Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) Inside Bahraini Organizations Page 50
c. Non-Bahrainis evaluation is strictly based on their performance, and if theirperformance is low then they can be replaced easily. This motivates them to
increase their productivity and seeks better opportunities inside the
organization.
5.6 Factors that does not affect OCBThis research could not prove any significant relationship between any type of the
citizenship and the following:
Gender. Age. Sector (Private\Public). Organizations size. Educational Level. Number of years with the current employer.
While some of those factors are proven to have impact on OCB by other researchers,
this research could not prove such relationship, which can be justified by:
a. The cultural differences can the most important factor that affects eachresearch result.
b. Other researches that measures OCB in Bahrain were not available to verifythe results.
c. Sample size (283 respondents) may not provide accurate measurement of anybehavior putting in mind the size of the workforce inside Bahrain.
d. The survey might have some design errors that caused wrong feedback by therespondents.

6 Summary and ConclusionOrganizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) is one of the most important behaviors that
organizations should encourage in the work environment. It is important because it
create a self-healing business where employees would take the right actions by their
own, and without any overhead.
OCB can be classified into:
Inter Personal Citizenship, where the employee actions would be driven towardspersonal interaction with the others (i.e. providing personal services &
professional help, emotional support, showing courtesy & tact...etc.)
Organizational Citizenship, where the employee is expressing favorable attitudestoward the organization (i.e. loyalty, defending the company and it\s
productsetc.).
Job\task citizenship, where the employee would perform all what is required toaccomplish his job, find additional tasks when he is done, and he would be
motivated to develop his knowledge and skills.
For the scope of this research, the above classification is adopted where marks is given
for each type of citizenship (Interpersonal Citizenship, Organizational Citizenship,
Job/Task Citizenship) and the marks are summed together to measure the Overall
Citizenship.
After analyzing the results, the following has been found in the Bahraini organization:
1. Job satisfaction is the most important factor on OCB; it affects InterpersonalCitizenship, Organizational Citizenship, and the Overall Citizenship.
2. Position is the second important factor because it affects both theOrganizational Citizenship and the Job/Task Citizenship.
3. Work experience has an effect only on the Organizational Citizenship.4. Organizational Citizenship is also affected by how the employee evaluate the
organization`s services to customers.

5. Even that the number of non-Bahraini is low, the statistics shows that thenationality (Bahraini or Non Bahraini) has an effect on the Job\Task Citizenship.
6. This research could not prove any significant relationship between any type ofthe citizenship and the following:
Gender. Age. Sector (Private\Public). Organizations size. Educational Level. Number of years with the current employer.
6.1 RecommendationsFurther detailed study needs to be conducted to dig further in the relationship between
OCB and
Nationality. Position. Work Experience. Job Satisfaction. Evaluation of the Organization's services for the customers.
Other studies are also required to verify & justify some of the strange or illogical result
in this research, this includes:
a. Lack of significant relationship between Job Satisfaction and Job/TaskCitizenship.
b. Position effect on OCB is limited to upper management.c. The impact of work experience over OCB is delayed until 21+ years.
