Abstract

This paper points out the role played by individuals whose behaviour range from the minimalists, who contribute the least possible to maintain membership to others who go the extra mile engaging discretionally in extra-role behaviours advantageous to organizations. It examines the antecedents of employee citizenship behaviour, linking it to organizational performance. It high lights the various Iinks between organizational citizenship and psychological capital resources; progressive human resources practices and leadership dispositions of managers. The paper recommends that improved employee engagement wiII clarify to employees managerial expectations of such behaviours. Equipped with this insight, managers should assess organizational citizenship behaviour before embarking on organizational change intervention and subtly design strategies for maximizing such positive role behaviours. This will help induce a culture of high performance, especially in emerging economies like Nigeria where there is a compelling urgency for improved economic growth and productivity.
