The Impact of Organizational Values on Organizational Citizenship Behaviors

This study seeks to investigate the mechanism through which organizational values in Chinese enterprises may function on employees' citizenship behaviors. Based on a sample of 201 employees in Chinese enterprises, the research questions focus on whether organizational values have a direct impact on OCBs and its verified antecedents: organizational identification and organization-based self-esteem (OBSE). The results indicate that organizational values have significant and direct impact on employees' organizational citizenship behaviors by the mediating effect of organizational identification and OBSE. The present research exposes a systematic mechanism that articulates OCBs under the background of Chinese culture.
