Organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and its dimensions-altruism, courtesy, conscientiousness, civic virtue and sportsmanship-have been a very significant and rapid growth research area for recent decades. With the realization of OCB importance in work places, several studies are conducted to identify the elements which can affect the perception or expectation of organizational citizenship behavior from employees. This study intends to identify the relationship of OCB with employee gender and gendered job-type. In order to test the hypotheses, data were collected from the Business Administration students from the universities in Ankara through paper-pen based questionnaires. The sample used in this study is composed of 141 students who were third or fourth year bachelor students. The results of this study indicated that the relationship between dimensions of organizational citizenship behavior and employee gender is insignificant. However, relationship between gendered job-type and altruism dimension of OCB was significant. The other dimensions of OCB were not significantly associated with gendered job-type. This research is concluded with the discussion of the results.

The Effects of Transformational Leadership on Organizational Identification and Organizational Citizenship Behaviors Acar, Feride Pınar (2019-12-30) The present study examines the role of transformational leadership as one of the antecedents of organizational citizenship behaviors (OCB). The extant literature that examines antecedents of OCB, many times, focuses on the direct effects of a variety of variables, ignoring the processes through which such variables encourage OCB. Thereby the OCB literature is full of black box theories. The current study attempts to address this black box by identifying and examining organizational identification as the pro...
Quality in gender equality policies (QUING) Acar, Feride Pınar(2011-3-31) The European Union is a multilayered, multicultural democracy based on mutual respect for its diverse peoples and cultures, introducing goals that value diversity and inclusion while counteracting hierarchies, inequalities and exclusion. At the level of its Member States, uneven struggles often diverge from this and tend to exclude and polarize, whether the focus is on race, ethnicity, religion or sexuality. Gender issues are constitutive of current European polarizations in terms of ethnicity, sexuality...
The possibility of postnationality in the case of european union citizenship Ay, Özgür; Ertuğrul, Kürşad; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2003) Recent developments such as internationalization of labor markets, emergence of multi-level polities and a global discourse on human rights have influenced citizenship practices and challenged conventional definitions of citizenship. While conventional definitions of citizenship often presuppose the relationship between citizenship, nationality and nation-state, as an institution, citizenship is constituted and reconstituted by economic, political, social and legal practices. In this context, European Union...

Determinants of organizational citizenship and counterproductive work behavior: the role of personality, job characteristics, job satisfaction and organizational commitment Arkan, Öykü; Acar, Feride Pınar; Gönül, Mustafa Sinan; Department of Business Administration (2016) Organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and counterproductive work behavior (CWB) are two growing areas that have important consequences for organizational effectiveness. Although various empirical research has analyzed the determinants and consequences of these extra-role behaviors, there is a limited research in the literature that studied both OCB and CWB at the same time. This thesis tests a new comprehensive model through examining the influences of Big Five Personality Traits, impostor phenomenon, n...
