  • Description:
    Objective: The goals of this study are threefold. The first goal of the study is to determine how CP is associated with different motives for OCB. The second goal of this study is to investigate how CP relates to measures of job effort, OCB, and counterproductive work behaviors (CWB). CWBs are behaviors that can harm the organization and organizational members. The final goal of this study is to investigate the role of CP in regards to organizational attitudes (i.e., job satisfaction). Methods: The sample consists of 136 employed participants who were recruited from classes at a large public university in the southeastern U.S. Additionally, coworker reports of OCB and CWB were obtained from 88 participants. Students were recruited to complete an electronic self-report survey (target survey) that contained all study variables. Participants were given a unique code and a survey link to enter online. They then entered the code once they completed the survey. Participants then wrote the unique code on the coworker instruction sheet that contained the link to the coworker survey. Participants were then instructed to give the sheet to a coworker. Coworkers then completed the online survey after they received the instruction sheet. The code was used to link the two surveys together. Results: CP was significantly related to three different motives. In regards to OCB, Citizenship Pressure was negatively related to self-report OCB and coworker reported OCB. Citizenship Pressure was also positively related self-reported CWB but not coworker reported CWB. Citizenship Pressure was negatively related to job satisfaction. Conclusion: Citizenship Pressure may not be helpful in promoting OCBs and may result in negative behavioral outcomes. [Description provided by NIOSH]
