A meta-analytic review of attitudinal and dispositional predictors of organizational citizenship behavior
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.read more

Too much of a good thing: curvilinear relationships between personality traits and job performance.
TL;DR: This article found that high levels of the two personality traits examined are more beneficial for performance in high- than low-complexity jobs, and that job complexity moderated the curvilinear personality-performance relationships such that the inflection points after which the relationships disappear were lower for low complexity jobs than they were for high complexity jobs.

Collectivism, propensity to trust and self-esteem as predictors of organizational citizenship in a non-work setting
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined organizational citizenship of residents in a housing cooperative setting where roles were not influenced by traditional employee-employer work relationships and found that individual differences of collectivism and propensity to trust predicted organizational citizenship.

Strategy, human resource management and performance: Sharpening line of sight
Paul F. Buller,Glenn M. McEvoy +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a multi-level model illustrating how human resource management practices can effectively align organizational, group and individual factors with the organization's strategy, and propose that such alignment contributes to the creation of human capital and social capital, both of which are necessary to achieve and sustain superior performance.

An integrative model of safety climate: Linking psychological climate and work attitudes to individual safety outcomes using meta-analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, a meta-analytic path analysis was used to test an integrative model linking perceived safety climate to hypothesized organisational antecedents and individual outcomes, and the relationship between safety climate and occupational accidents was partially mediated by both safety behaviour and general health.

Employee burnout: a meta-analysis of the relationship between age or years of experience
Ernest W. Brewer,Leslie Shapard +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the relationship between age or years of experience and employee burnout by performing a meta-analysis on research studies that present findings on relationships between employee burn out and age, and found that there was a small negative correlation between age and emotional exhaustion.

Development and validation of brief measures of positive and negative affect: The PANAS scales.
TL;DR: Two 10-item mood scales that comprise the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) are developed and are shown to be highly internally consistent, largely uncorrelated, and stable at appropriate levels over a 2-month time period.

The big five personality dimensions and job performance: a meta-analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relation of the Big Five personality dimensions (extraversion, emotional stability, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness to Experience) to three job performance criteria (job proficiency, training proficiency, and personnel data) for five occupational groups (professionals, police, managers, sales, and skilled/semi-skilled).

John E. Mathieu,Dennis M. Zajac +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize previous empirical studies that examined antecedents, correlates, and/or consequences of organizational commitment using meta-analysis, including 26 variables classified as antecedent, 8 as consequences, and 14 as correlates.

Validation of the five-factor model of personality across instruments and observers.
Robert R. McCrae,Paul T. Costa +1 more
TL;DR: Two data sources--self-reports and peer ratings--and two instruments--adjective factors and questionnaire scales--were used to assess the five-factor model of personality, showing substantial cross-observer agreement on all five adjective factors.

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.
