Abstract

The article serves the purpose of identifying the behaviors an employee could display resulting in managers' satisfaction and hence strengthening the relationship. To investigate the proposed behaviors in this model, employees' organizational citizenship behavior's (OCB) role as a motivating behavior, was been examined. The sample includes 206 managers/supervisors from different private banks. Using Herzberg's two-factor theory the findings imply that, three types of behaviors, i.e. motivational, indifferent and hygiene can be identified. These findings indicate that of these five established dimensions of OCB, three dimensions (viz. altruism, sportsmanship, and conscientiousness) are motivational in nature; one of the dimensions which is courtesy is under hygiene category; lastly, the fifth one, i.e., civic virtue, is an indifferent type. Overall, it has been found that OCB is a motivational behavior. The results of this study can help employees in understanding what kind of their behaviors causes managers' satisfaction.
