Abstract

Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) is one of the most significant topics, because of its great impact on the success of organizations. Organizational Ambidexterity (OA) refers to the ability of organizations to explore new ideas that meet different needs and trends of beneficiaries. Consequently, this research aims to find out organizational ambidexterity's impact on organizational citizenship behavior among employees in Islamic international Arab Bank, Amman – Jordan Branch. The comprehensive survey includes 190 employees. About (38) questionnaires were unanswered and not returned, which represents (20%) of all questionnaires. (152) respondents answered the questionnaire. Results indicated that there is a statistical impact of Organizational Ambidexterity (exploration, exploitation, and flexible organizational structure) on Organizational citizenship behavior among employees in the Islamic International Arab Bank in Amman (IIAB). In light of the results, a set of recommendations were formulated. The study likewise recommended that the capacity of a bank to effectively exploit its present activities and explore new opportunities should be strengthened by adapting existing organizational skills and resources, merging and reconfiguring them, and at the same time developing new capabilities. In addition to, designing specific instruments that allow banks to accomplish separate subunits successfully, especially for many activities: "exploration and exploitation".
