Abstract

The results showed that overall OCB scored very high (4.34) on a 5-Likert scale. In addition, OCB showed significant variance with respect to age category (in favor of those who are 50 years and above). The author also has found that OCB five core dimensions (Altruism, courtesy, sportsmanship, civic virtue, and conscientiousness) are strongly and significantly correlated.
