LOCUS OF CONTROL AS A PREDICTOR OF JOB SATISFACTION AMONG THE EMPLOYEES OF TEXTILE INDUSTRY

Abstract

Organisational citizenship behaviour refers to individual behaviour that is discretionary, not directly or explicitly recognized by the formal reward system, and that in the aggregate promotes the effective functioning of the organization. The present study was aimed at studying the relationship between job satisfaction and organisational citizenship behaviour among the employees of a shipyard. A convenience sample consisting of forty three employees working in a shipyard participated in the study. By administering questionnaires organisational citizenship behaviour and job satisfaction among the employees were assessed. The collected data was analysed with various statistical tools. Results indicated that there was a significant difference in organisational citizenship behaviour among the different age groups; among the male and female respondents; among different experience groups; and income groups. There was a significant correlation between organisational citizenship behaviour and job satisfaction.
