Abstract

The present study examines the role of personality dimensions in occurrence of Organizational Citizenship Behavior at workplace. Three hundred middle level managers from various multi-national companies situated in northern India (Chandigarh, Ludhiana, Patiala, and New Delhi) were included in this study. Their age ranged between 25-45 years. Only those employees were taken in this study who had served more than five years in that organization. Correlation was used to determine the significant relationships between personality dimensions and Organizational Citizenship Behavior. The results revealed that Neuroticism dimension of personality was negatively correlated with Organizational Citizenship Behavior. As far as Conscientiousness, Openness to experience, Agreeableness and Extraversion were concerned; all these dimensions were positively correlated with Organizational Citizenship Behavior. As far as Gender differences were concerned, the ‘t’ value did not attain the level of significance. The study has major implications for organizations as they can recruit employees on the bases of their personality i.e. less neurotic individuals, highly agreeable, highly conscientious individuals would be preferred as they would be influential in increasing productivity and efficiency of the organization in the future. Key words: personality impetus, managerial OCB, correlational analysis
