Suggestion
Based on the results of the conclusions and the previous discussion on how to improve the performance of SPMI employees of Private
Universities in West Sumatra, suggestions that might be useful as follows:
1. In an effort to remind the performance of SPMI employees of private universities in West Sumatra, management needs to improve OCB with
the Conscientiousness dimension and indicators of completing work ahead of schedule and still improve other latent variables namely
Perceived Organizational Support, commitment and competence that affect employee performance.
2. It is recommended for other researchers who want to conduct research with a similar theme to add some variables that can affect employee
performance, such as organizational culture, organizational climate and career development, and for other researchers to expand the object of
research not only to Private Universities in West Sumatra but can be done at other universities with wider scope of area. (Ridwan et al., 2020)
DIMENSION OF OCB
At this stage, there is a need to explain the OCB dimensions, and past studies relevant to each of these, as well as
explaining the extent to which they are related to OCB. In order to further understanding of each dimension, the paper
will discuss each in turn.
2.3.1 Altruism
According to Organ (1991), altruism involves helping colleagues and employees to perform their duties in unusual
circumstances, or in a manner that goes beyond expectations. Todd (2003) defined altruism as the willingness to
assist, or the devotion of an employee towards other colleagues and the organization. Altruism is known as one of the
dimensions of OCB. People with the trait of altruism provide help when needed by colleagues, such as in times of
high workload or colleague absence, or to aid new employees to adapt to new work environments (Paré et al., 2000).
Accordingly, based again on Organ (1997), the benefits of altruism is for individuals-directed behavior; moreover,
altruism promotes employee efficiency (Yen & Niehoff, 2004), encourages cooperation between employees, and
enhances team working (Islam et al., 2012). Islam et al. (2012) stated that OCB and altruism involve a deep
relationship.
2.3.2 Conscientiousness
Conscientiousness has attracted a great deal of attention from researchers in relation to OCB (Borman et al., 2001).
Conscientiousness, as outlined by Organ (1991), is a behavior that goes beyond the specific requirements of an
organization. Redman and Snape(2005) defined conscientiousness in relation to voluntary behaviors to go beyond job
requirements, and which may not be seen by anyone. Based on Konovsky and Organ (1996), there is a meaningful
relationship between conscientiousness and all components of OCB. Conscientious employees tend to be more
informed and to have more updated information about products and services offered (Yen & Niehoff, 2004).
Conscientious people, in fact, deliver benefits to the organization (Organ, 1997). It seems that conscientiousness is the
best means by which to promote work efficiency. King et al. (2005) explained that in theory, conscience is something
like a lamp that illuminates the direction of desired target behaviors; thus, conscientiousness may be an important
dimension of OCB.
2.3.3 Sportsmanship
Sportsmanship is a citizen-like posture of tolerating the inevitable inconveniences and impositions of work, without
complaining or indicating grievances (Modassir & Singh, 2008). Sportsmanship, civic virtue and conscientiousness
have been grouped into organization-directed behavior, and the positive relationship between each of them and OCB
has been supported in previous research (Williams & Anderson, 1991).
2.3.4 Courtesy
Courtesy involves treating others with respect, preventing problems by keeping others informed of one’s decisions and
actions that may affect them, and passing along information to those who may find it useful (Modassir & Singh,
2008). Altruism and courtesy have been grouped into individual-directed behavior, and the positive relationship
between each of them and OCB has also been supported (Williams & Anderson, 1991).
2.3.5 Civic virtue
Civic virtue refers to behaviors that display a responsible concern for the wellbeing and image of an organization
(Redman & Snape, 2005). Borman et al. (2001) stated that civic virtue relates to individual behaviors that show an
employee is responsibly concerned about the life of the organization, and is willing to participate in it.
There is a significant relationship between conscientiousness and civic virtue (Konovsky & Organ, 1996). A study
conducted by Coole(2003) revealed that civic virtue is more restricted in related to organizational effectiveness, as, for
instance, the more effective the organization, the more chances there are for this behavior to emerge. As noted by
Baker (2005), in the political processes of the organization, the behavior of civic virtue has a responsible and
productive role.
CONCLUSION
According to the findings, the most significant dimensions of OCB can be highlighted to managers in the Iranian
healthcare industry. All of the five dimensions of OCB have a positive relationship with OCB: altruism and courtesy
can be grouped under individual-directed behavior, while sportsmanship, civic virtue and conscientiousness fall into
organization-directed behavior. Based on the results, employees in the Iranian healthcare industry participate in
both individual- and organization-directed behavior. For individual-directed behavior, managers should motivate and
inject a sense of courtesy among employees in the Iranian healthcare industry; for organization-directed behavior,
managers should encourage a sense of sportsmanship and conscientiousness. In conclusion, based on the results and
the model used in this study, there are two significant dimensions for OCB in the Iranian healthcare industry: civic
virtue and altruism -- malekalketab
Recently, OCB has started to receive attention from the scholars, hence increasing the number of publications. The
subject area analysis indicated that the concerns of management are the main attention in OCB trend, where the
followings are the top five ranking of subject area as analysed from Scopus: Business, Management, and Accounting
(1, 555 articles), Social Sciences (305 articles), Psychology (823 articles), Social Sciences (773 articles), Economics,
Econometrics, and Finance (229 articles), as well as Arts and Humanities (200 articles). Although major concerns are
in management and social sciences field, the topic of OCB can be in multidisciplinary area as well. This can be seen
when a number of publications (130 articles) was published in the area of Nursing, Medicine, and Health Professions.
Besides, OCB was discussed in the field of Sciences as well, where 170 articles were published in the area of
Environmental Sciences, Computer Science, as well as Agricultural and Biological Sciences. This proved that OCB is
not only essential in management field, it might be important for employees in health sector and Sciences field as
well.
There were 2, 356 research articles published in 31 years. Figure 2 shows the growth of publication. The first research
in OCB was in 1988 (Dalton and Cosier, 1988) and there was no published research until 1989. From 1995 onwards,
the number of publications in OCB has been increasing steadily. It is believed that the research works on this topic
were active since 1995. The annual growth rate increased rapidly in 2002 when the number of publications was almost
five times more than the publications in 1995. The increasing number of publications has resulted in the increased
number of cumulative total publications. From 2006 to 2019, the number of publications of OCB has rapidly and
significantly increased. Therefore, it is believed that the attention on OCB publications will increase in future. It is
suggested that more research works should have public access for the reference of future researchers. As of 2019, only
7.7% (182 research articles) had public access for readers.
The top 15 productive authors in the research area of OCB are listed in Table 2, whom currently attached to seven
countries as follows: United States (8), Canada (1), Israel (2), Australia (1), UK (1), Pakistan (1), and India (1). The
leading authors’ first publication ranged between the years of 1990 to 2011, in which more than half (10) of them were
first author, and five of them were second author. As shown in the column of affiliations, it can be seen that OCB is
often discussed in the field of business and management, only minority of the authors were from the fields of
Psychology, Education, and Political Science.
The top three leading authors were from United States. Bachrach, D.G. was the first leading author from University of
Alabama, with a record of 15 publications since 2000, 666 times of citations, and with 13 h-index. Followed by
Bolino, M.C. from The University of Oklahoma, a total of 15 publications (1999-2019), 12 h-index, as well as higher
number of citations than the first leading author (2, 209). Four authors (5th, 6th, 10th and 12th) were affiliated to the
same university, which are University of Haifa (5th and 6th) and Michigan State University (10th and 12th). It was
discovered that the trend of OCB has been gradually increased since 2000, where Bachrach, D.G.’s article was the
first published in the same year. Although these are top 15 productive and leading authors in OCB publications, it
should be noted that their names are not necessarily appeared in Table 1, under the column of most cited articles.
Their names would only be found in Table 1 and Table 2 if they have published actively, such as the author Podsakoff,
P.M.
The discussion and analysis explained an outline of organizational citizenship behaviour growth based on 2, 356
related studies in Scopus database. Since the year 2000 till current year, the growth of OCB has been increasing
rapidly as OCB is recognized as one of the contributors of performance in organizations. The analysis indicated that
the United States and China were the leading countries in OCB research area. The United States was also the most
affiliated country in this research area. Other countries such as Sri Lanka and Morocco are recommended to have
international collaboration with leading affiliated countries to broaden their research scopes. OCB was active in the
management and business area. It was discovered that ‘Organizational Citizenship Behaviour Environment’ (OCBE)
was new area in examining OCB. The OCBE area has the potential to become hot topic in future because because
OCBE could promote the sustainability of organizations, which is one of the hot issue in this era. (Gan and Halimah
