TLDR
A quantitative review of 55 studies supports the conclusion that job attitudes are robust predictors of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) as discussed by the authors, and the relationship between job satisfaction and OCB is stronger than that between satisfaction and in-role performance, at least among nonmanagerial and nonprofessional groups.
Abstract
A quantitative review of 55 studies supports the conclusion that job attitudes are robust predictors of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). The relationship between job satisfaction and OCB is stronger than that between satisfaction and in-role performance, at least among nonmanagerial and nonprofessional groups. Other attitudinal measures (perceived fairness, organizational commitment, leader supportiveness) correlate with OCB at roughly the same level as satisfaction. Dispositional measures do not correlate nearly as well with OCB (with the exception of conscientiousness). The most notable moderator of these correlations appears to be the use of self- versus other-rating of OCB; self-ratings are associated with higher correlations, suggesting spurious inflation due to common method variance, and much greater variance in correlation. Differences in subject groups and work settings do not account for much variance in the relationships. Implications are noted for theory, practice, and strategies for future research on OCB.

General job stress: a unidimensional measure and its non-linear relations with outcome variables.

TL;DR: Results indicate that a more parsimonious eight-item SIG has better model-data fit than the 15-item two-factor SIG and that the eight- item SIG has non-linear relations with job satisfaction and intentions to quit.

Job Satisfaction and Organizational Commitment as Predictors of Organizational Citizenship and In-Role Behaviors:

TL;DR: In this paper, a factor analysis of survey data from 127 employees' supervisors supported the distinction between in-role behaviors and two forms of OCBs, and hierarchical regression analysis found two job cognitions variables (intrinsic and extrinsic) to be differentially related to the two types OCB.
