The Relationship Between Organizational Citizenship Behavior and Work Engagement: The Example of Sports Park Employees

Employees are among the most important factors for organisations to achieve their goals and objectives. Employees' commitment to work and organisational citizenship behaviours are important for both employees and organisations. Accordingly, the research aims to examine the relationship between organisational citizenship behaviours and the work engagement of Sports Park employees. The research was designed by adopting the correlational research design, which is among the quantitative research methods. The G-power 3.18 statistical program was used to determine the research group. A total of 204 employees, 134 males (65.7%) and 70 females (35.7%), participated in the research. Organisational Citizenship Behaviour Scale and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale were used as data collection tools. The data obtained from the participants were analysed using the IBM SPSS package programme. It was found that there were positive, significant relationships between the work engagement scale and the sub-dimensions of the organisational citizenship behaviour scale, namely formal role behaviour, organisational voice, and helping. On the other hand, it was determined that 35.6% of the variance in the dependent variable was explained by the independent variables. As a result of the research, it was concluded that as the organisational citizenship behaviours of the employees increase, their commitment to work may also increase.
