Abstract

This study examines the relationships between person-supervisor fit (PSF), work involvement, and organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB) among government servants with Myasthenia Gravis (MG) in Klang Valley. The research aims to understand how the alignment between employees and their supervisors influences extra-role behaviours in the workplace, with work involvement acting as a moderating variable. A total of 136 respondents participated in this study, completing an online survey. Data were analysed using SPSS 28, with descriptive statistics, reliability tests (Cronbach’s alpha), and regression analysis. The findings reveal a significant positive relationship between PSF and OCB, indicating that employees who perceive a high fit with their supervisors are more likely to engage in OCB. Additionally, work involvement was found to significantly moderate the relationship between PSF and OCB, amplifying the effect of PSF on employees’ discretionary behaviours. The results suggest that employees with higher work involvement, when paired with supportive supervisors, are more likely to go beyond their formal roles to contribute positively to their organizations. This study contributes to the literature on person-environment fit theory, emphasizing the importance of supervisor-employee alignment in fostering a supportive and productive work environment for employees with chronic conditions like MG. The findings have practical implications for organizations seeking to enhance OCB through improved supervisory support and employee engagement, especially for those managing health challenges. Recommendations for future research include exploring additional variables that may influence this relationship and conducting longitudinal studies to examine the causal dynamics over time.
