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.

Exploring Organizationally Directed Citizenship Behaviour: Reciprocity or ‘It's my Job’?*

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine two explanations for why employees engage in organizational citizenship behavior (OCB): one view views OCB as a form of reciprocation where employees engage to reciprocate fair or good treatment from the organization, and the second view is that employees define those behaviours as part of their job.

When teachers go the extra mile: Foci of organisational identification as determinants of different forms of organisational citizenship behaviour among schoolteachers

TL;DR: Structural equation modelling supports the main hypothesis that foci of identification relate differentially to forms of OCB in schools and emphasises the importance of organisational identification as a determinant of O CB in schools.

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.
