The Determinant of Organizational Citizenship Behavior and Examining the Mediating Roles of Job Involvement: Survey on lecturers of higher education of the ministry of industry in Indonesia

Abstract

This study investigates whether Talent Management, Personality and Grit affect the Organizational Citizenship Behaviour and if so, whether the effect is mediated by Job Involvement or not. Using a sample of 217 lecturers at Higher Education of The Ministry of Industry In Indonesia in 2018, this study proves the association between Talent Management and Personality to Organizational Citizenship Behaviour is partially mediated by Job Involvement, but Job Involvement does not mediate the relationship between Grit and Organizational Citizenship Behaviour. This empirical finding reinforces previous studies about the relationship between Talent Management and Personality to Organizational Citizenship Behavior. The extension of the theoretical concept, to prove the association between Grit and Organizational Citizenship Behavior which mediated by Job Involvement, can not be proven in this study although some propositions suggest a link between Grit, Job Involvement and Organizational Citizenship Behavior. Finally, this finding offers empirical evidence of the importance of Job Involvement as a mediating variable, which means the presence of Talent Management and the potential of Personality do not automatically increase the level of Organizational Citizenship Behaviour, if there is no job involvement inside.
