A hypothetical appraisal of corporate culture and organisational citizenship behavior

The concept of organizational culture spans through the range of management thinking and literature and has been one of the most enduring buzzwords of popular attention among scholars. This status also fits organizational citizenship behavior which has attracted myriad of attention ever since it surfaced in the field of management. The thrust of this paper however is to theoretically examine the nexus between these variables; drawing from extant literature. The paper critically appraised both constructs independently, associated them; and observed that organizational culture is incontrovertibly linked as having significant and positive relationship with organizational citizenship behavior. The paper drew attention of managers to the need for entrenching and nurturing cultural norms and values of the organization that are congruent with citizenship tendencies.
