Abstract

In today's competitive organizational environment, strategic leaders depend upon employees with the capacity to continually change, innovate and improve, making highly engaged workers more valuable than ever (Norris, 2013). These changing conditions require the strategic cultivation of a workforce willing to contribute to the effective functioning of the organization through discretionary organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs). Using the survey method, we obtained data from 232 working professionals from a large metropolitan area in the Midwest and tested the extent to which spirituality in the workplace and perceived organizational support influenced the exhibition of OCBs. Our findings show that spirituality in the workplace exerts influence on altruism, conscientiousness, and courtesy, which represent interpersonally directed OCBs, and perceived organizational support exerts influence on civic virtue, which is an organizationally directed OCB.
