Datasets on organizational citizenship behavior in the selected hospitals with different ownership.

ABSTRACT: Studying the role of employees as the base of an organization on achieving organizational goals has increased in recent years [1]. To have better organizational citizens, organizations should encourage their staff [2]. As the most powerful form of organizational behavior, organizational citizenship is more influential than organizational cooperation [3]. Studies have shown that cooperative behavior, such as the citizenship behavior results in easier organizational communication, promoting organizational planning, improving inter-personal cooperation and developing better organizational climate, directly influence staff satisfaction, work life quality, service-provision, job commitment and financial output [4]. As the most fundamental organizational behavior, the organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) causes so-called organizational effectiveness. This study Focused on the comparing organizational citizenship behavior components including conscientiousness, courtesy, altruism, sportsmanship and civic virtue among hospitals based on ownership. Research population included all therapeutic and non-therapeutic employees working in the five selected hospital located in Golestan province, Iran in 2016. This study is approved by Ethical committee of Islamic Azad Sari Branch. Based on Cochran?s sampling formula, 312 employees working in different hospital sections and units (nurses and administrative personnel) were proportionally selected as the research sample. They completed the Persian version of Podsakoff?s standard scale measuring organizational citizenship behavior. The data were analyzed using SPSS 22 and applying inferential statistics approaches such as t-test, Tukey, and ANOVA in the confidence interval of 95%.

Project description:The aim of this study is to investigate the nexus between organizational citizenship behavior and psychological wellbeing and assess the moderating and mediating effects of emotional intelligence (EI) on the relationship betwem psychological wellbeing of IT-enabled Sector employees in Hyderabad. To measure the study variables of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and emotional intelligence (EI) on psychological wellbeing (PWB) data were gathered using a questionnaire. The mediating and moderating effects of emotional intelligence on the relationship between organizational citizenship behavior and psychological wellbeing was also assessed. The was reliable as indicated by the Cronbach's alpha coefficient statistic that between 0.79 to 0.91. Three hundred valid responses were considered for SEM analysis using AMOS, version 28. The model fit indices indicate excellent fit: CMIN/DF 2.788 CFI 0.935, IFI 0.937, TLI 0.921, NFI 0.923, RMSEA 0.054, SRMR 0.077 and PClose 0.092. The SEM analysis revealed that the impact of exogenous variables OCB and EI were statistically significant (p < 0.001) on endogenous variable psychological wellbeing of IT-enabled industry employees. Furthermore, EI partially mediates psychological wellbeing through the OCB of information technology employees. This empirical study also examined the moderating effects of EI on the psychological wellbeing of information technology-enabled employees through OCB. The slope analysis reveals that emotional intelligence strengthens the positive association between OCB and the PWB of IT-enabled sector employees. EI and OCB enhance PWB and employee performance. The findings of this study have several important implications for organizations in the IT sector and can be used to develop strategies for promoting OCB and EI among employees. The structural relationships between PWB and OCB in the context of hotel employees and reported positive effects of OCB on hotel employees are well documented. The limitations are the data were collected from the Information Technology employees of Hyderabad Metro. There are some subjectivity and cultural issues which were elaborated at the end. This empirical study helps to clarify the relationship between organizational citizenship behavior, psychological wellbeing, and the mediator and moderator variable emotional intelligence. The study also comprehends the available literature and adds value to the existing theoretical knowledge and behavioral studies. M10 M12, M19.

Project description:Background:Nurses play a key role in providing patient safety. It is known that patient safety requires the improvement of patient safety culture, which can be a difficult process. One of the current challenges of hospitals is to explore the ways to improve patient safety culture. Organizational citizenship behaviors are one of the factors, which can develop organizational culture including safety culture; however, its role is not well established. Methods:In this cross-sectional study, a stratified random sample of 214 nurses was selected from a largest teaching hospital in west of Iran. The institutional research board approved the study protocol. Data were collected using three self-report questionnaires: demographic information; hospital survey on patient safety culture (HSPSC); and organizational citizenship behaviors questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Spearman's correlation coefficient test in SPSS (??<?0.05). Results:Organizational citizenship behaviors were found to be at an intermediate level (56.84?±?16.22). However, some of its dimensions, including sportsmanship, civic virtue, and courtesy, were at weak levels (<?50%). The mean percentage of positive responses to the patient safety culture was 49.00?±?14.01. The patient safety culture had significant positive correlations with organizational citizenship behaviors (r?=?0.349, P?=?0.001) and dimensions of altruism (r?=?0.255, P?=?0.001), civic virtue (r?=?0.434, P?=?0.001), and courtesy (r?=?0.214, P?=?0.001). Conclusion:Our findings proposed the hypothesis that OCB has a statistical significant impact on PSC. Low levels of civic virtue, sportsmanship and courtesy behaviors may be indicative low nurses' interest in participating in organizational affairs and nurses' low attention to measures that prevent harm to their organization. It is recommended that nursing managers focus more on these dimensions, identifying influintioal factors and taking appropriate management measures to promote these behaviors. If our findings are confirmed in future studies, nursing managers can consider the development of organizational citizenship behaviors as one of the managerial approaches for promoting a patient safety culture.
