A STUDY OF ORGANIZATIONAL CITIZENSHIP BEHAVIOUR OF SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS

Research has demonstrated that Citizenship like behaviours promote the effective functioning of any given organization. (Organ, 1988, 1990 & Borman and Motowidlo, 1993). Research by Morrison (1994); Pond, Nacoste, Mohr & Rodriguez (1997); and Lam, Hui and Law (1999) reveals that Organizational Citizenship Behaviours are an integral part of an employee's role responsibilities. Successful organizations need their employees to perform more than their usual job responsibilities. This necessitates the demonstration of Extra- Role Behaviour, which is termed as Organizational Citizenship Behaviour. The present study focusses on Organizational Citizenship Behaviours demonstrated by Secondary School Teachers. The authors were curious to understand the level of Organizational Citizenship Behaviour amongst English Medium Secondary School Teachers across various boards. In all, 528 secondary school teachers, both male and female from secondary schools across Greater Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai were selected for the study. The findings reveal that there is no significant difference in the Organizational Citizenship Behaviour (OCB) of Secondary School Teachers (SST) on the basis of their gender, subject of specialization and qualifications. However, OCB differed significantly on the basis of their age, experience and type of school.
