Building adaptable organisations: role of personality and organisational tenure in change-oriented organisational citizenship behaviour
by Promila Agarwal
International Journal of Strategic Change Management (IJSCM), Vol. 7, No. 1, 2016

Abstract: Organisations require change-oriented organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB) among employees to effectively manage change. The purpose of this paper is to extend the literature on change-oriented OCB by examining its association with the personality and the moderating influence of organisational tenure on this association. Based on a sample of 272 employees, the current study investigates the interactive effect of personality and tenure on change-oriented OCB on the basis of human capital theory, social capital theory, self-efficacy, job demand resource model, and status characteristic theory using cross-sectional method. The results confirm that organisational tenure moderates the relationship between personality traits and change-oriented OCB. Practical implications and limitations are discussed.
