Abstract

Organizations require proactive employees who perform beyond the stated responsibilities to stay competitive. One of the measures of proactiveness is organizational citizenship behavior of the employees. With citizenship behaviors linked to organizational effectiveness, it is significant for organizations to identify the impact of the causal factors that promote citizenship behaviors. This research paper has examined the impact of the demographic factors in promoting organizational citizenship behaviors. Age, gender and experience are taken up for investigation for their predictive power in eliciting citizenship behaviors among academicians in private colleges. The sample size for the study is 112. Convenience sampling technique was employed in the study. Data was analyzed by correlation and multiple regression using SPSS version 28. The results established significant relation between the demographic factors (age, gender and experience) with the different dimensions of organizational citizenship behaviors (altruism, sportsmanship, conscientiousness, civic virtue and courtesy).
