Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between self-efficiency and organizational support with organizational citizenship behavior. A descriptive and correlational research method was adopted. The study population consisted of 190 employees from which a sample of 90 members was selected through simple random sampling. The research instruments included three questionnaires: organizational citizenship behavior scale (podsakoff, 1990) self-efficiency scale (Sherrer et al, 1982) and organizational support questionnaire (Eisenberger, 1986). The data was analyzed using multivariate regression analysis and Pearson correlation coefficient. The findings revealed that there was a positive and significant relationship among self-efficiency and organizational support with organizational citizenship behavior.
