Organization Citizenship Behaviour and Performance of Academic Staff of Selected Tertiary Institutions in Lagos State

The managerial practices in most tertiary institutions in Nigeria have resulted to striking action on the part of the different union groups in Nigeria campuses. This has discouraged employee behaviours towards their responsibilities. The study examined organization citizenship behaviour (OCB) and performance of academic staff of selected tertiary institutions in Lagos State. The study adopted survey research design as well as simple and stratified sampling methods. It is demonstrated from the regression analysis that courtesy, altruism as well as sportsmanship have positive and significant contribution on staff performance. The study concluded that there is a significant effect of organization citizenship behaviour (OCB) on the performance of employee in tertiary institutions in Lagos State. The study suggested that the management of tertiary institutions in Lagos State and Nigeria as a whole should formulate policies and/or adopt practices that will encourage organization citizenship behaviour for better performance.
