An Exploratory Conceptual Study on the Relationship between Workplace Citizenship and Organizational Culture

This study offers a discussion of the relationship between organizational culture and workplace citizenship. Organizational culture refers to leadership that shapes employee attitudes and behavior, influences high levels of individual participation in decision-making that benefit the organization, and so on. Public behavior that often results from voluntary work beyond what is required for the job is important for effective work. By applying a broad literature review and empirical research, this paper seeks to inquire about the readiness of employee leadership, for which I mean here empowerment or lack of it, by different organisations, for example ethnic culture, private culture, business culture, and hierarchical culture. For the most part, the findings underscored that all three variables are positively interrelated: empowerment, interpersonal skills, and more generalised public behaviour. In consideration of such suggestions, some general implications of possible strategies for leadership/organisational development are debated in light of recommendations for creating a culture encouraging voluntary and creative work.
