Abstract

The present study was designed to clarify the influence of two commonly cited antecedents to organizational citizenship behavior: procedural justice and mood. One hundred twelve undergraduate psychology majors participated in a laboratory experiment in which same-gender pairs of participants engaged in a competitive task. Procedural justice and mood were experimentally manipulated, and all participants were subsequently given the opportunity to engage in an extra-role behavior. Results showed a significant, causal relationship between procedural justice and extra-role behavior, but mood did not make a difference. The degree to which prosocial personality affects citizenship behaviors was also explored. © NAJP.
