Organizational citizenship behavior can be defined as voluntary and spontaneous behaviors that extend beyond employees' normal job duties.

The reliabilities of the scales were .83 organizational citizenship behaviors and .86 emotional intelligence.

The method suggested by Barron and Kenny (1986) was used to test mediation of organizational citizenship behavior between emotional intelligence, but nothing significant was found. The results indicated that emotional intelligence of the organizational citizenship behavior of followers.
