Top 10 OCB constructs.
| Authors | OCB construct dimensions | Usage | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Williams and Anderson (1991) | OCB-Individual, OCB-Organization | Using two groups of dimensions, a set of 14 questions was conceptualized to distinguish OCB's extra-role behaviors from intra-role behaviors, showing distinct behaviors with different performances. | 76 |
| Podsakoff et al. (1990) | Conscientiousness, Civic virtue, Sportsmanship, Altruism, Courtesy | A set of 24 questions based on Organ (1988) dimensionality of OCB test the effects of transformational leadership, trust, and satisfaction on OCBs. | 71 |
| Lee and Allen (2002) | OCB-Individual, OCB-Organization | A set of 16 questions was created to tap behaviors that are beneficial to individuals and the organization and avoid a overlap with other behaviors, in this case, the work deviance behaviors that they focus on in their study. | 46 |
| Farh et al. (1997) | Conscientiousness, Altruism, Identification with the organization, Protecting resources, Interpersonal harmony | Based on Podsakoff et al. (1990) construct, described as a "Western OCB scale," 20 questions were created regarding a five-dimensional construct chosen based on Chinese society and culture, which authors called Chinese Citizenship Behaviors. | 23 |
| Boiral and Paillé (2012) | OCB-Environment | List of 13 questions concerning environmental research. | 19 |
| Posdakoff and Mackenzie (1994) | Helping behavior, Civic virtue, sportsmanship | Construct built with three dimensions and 11 questions based on the insurance sales context. | 14 |
| Moorman and Blakely (1995) | Interpersonal helping, Individual initiative, Personal industry, Loyal boosterism | The authors adapted the Dyne et al. (1994) construct that corresponds closely to political science theory on social citizenship, and they incorporated it with Organ (1988) dimensionality, generically used in other OCB's research. | 14 |
| Dyne et al. (1994) | Loyalty, obedience, participation | Based on three dimensions that were substantively suggested by political philosophy, the authors made 34 questions to measure citizenship behavior generically. | 13 |
| Smith et al. (1983) | Compliance, altruism | This set of 16 questions based on a list of desirable job behaviors is the first OCB construct ever created to the best of our knowledge. | 13 |
| Dyne and Lepine (1998) | Helping behavior, Voice | A set of 12 questions was created based on earlier research but focusing on Work in Group, stepping aside from the individual behavior or nonwork behavior. | 13 |
