Description
Summary:The small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) play a fundamental role in providing job opportunities and supporting national economy. Therefore, it is essential to increase SMEs’ contributions to the economy by examining the factors that positively impact performance. As one of the main obstacles that hinder SMEs’ performance is workforce-related, then organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) can contribute to performance improvement. Consequently, the current research’s concern is to identify factors that are associated with employee OCB. To this end, employer branding, employee engagement and person-organization fit are proposed as antecedents of the OCB. This study contributes to the literature by identifying determinants of OCB and providing a framework that improves OCB.
