GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES' ORGANIZATIONAL CITIZENSHIP BEHAVIOR: THE IMPACTS OF PUBLIC SERVICE MOTIVATION, ORGANIZATIONAL IDENTIFICATION, AND SUBJECTIVE OCB NORMS

This study attempts to provide an increased understanding of the antecedents of public employees' organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). Using a field survey involving public employees working for Korean local government organizations, the data analyses reveal that public service motivation (PSM), organizational identification, subjective OCB norms, task interdependence, and procedural justice are important antecedents of government employees' OCB, even after partialling out the common method variance, whereas job satisfaction and distributive justice are not.
