Improving Organizational Citizenship Behavior
Library Catalogue Search
Discuss about the Improving Organizational Citizenship Behavior.
Organizational Citizenship Behavior is an aspect that should never be ignored at the workplace. The research will be looking at how an organization can increase Organizational Citizenship Behavior (Zayas-Ortiz, 2014). The searchable keywords are Organizational Citizenship Behavior, the enhancement of productivity in an organization through Organizational Citizenship Behavior and the benefits of Organizational Citizenship Behaviors in an entity (Jawahar & Thomas, 2017). The reason why the keywords are statements rather than a single word is due to the nature of the information that is needed (Roya et al. 2017). The research does not need the definition of the terms but how organizations can increase Organizational Citizenship Behavior.
Comparing the library search with other searches, it is evident that it was difficult acquiring the relevant material (Miguel et al. 2017). The reason behind it is because searching for the information is not straightforward as compared to other searching engines.

I found the first website by just keying in the keywords. The information was relevant because it talked about the research question. In research, when the website or article has content which is related to the topic question (Eeman et al. 2017). Then the document becomes beneficial to the research.
Finding the second website was not in any way different from how I found the first website (Mahmud & Hasan, Aleassa, 2017). The information was relevant because the website provided articles which were focusing on the research question.
The third website was not had to found, and the process was not different from the first and the second process (Kivanc et al. 2017). The authors of the articles found were focusing on the research problem.

Organizational Citizenship Behavior is an aspect that many organizations have forgotten. The aspect is paramount to the growth of an organization. Employees need to feel as part and parcel of an organization (Ge et al. 2017). When they feel so, they tend to be more effective and motivated. As a result, an organization gets to benefit.
Articles from academic databases relevant to topic
Citizenship is known as the act of belonging to a specific nation. Therefore, when one talks about Organizational Citizenship Behavior, he or she tries to say behaviors of a person who belongs somewhere (Wuryanti & Heru, 2017). Patriotism and loyalty are some of the characteristics of citizenship. Therefore, when an employee is a citizen to an organization, he or she depicts behaviors which demonstrate loyalty. There is, however, a need to note that an organization has so much to do in enhancing Organizational Citizenship Behaviors.
An organization is entitled to treating its employees well. It is only by treating the employees well that an organization can motivate the employees. Employees adopt the organizational Citizenship behaviors when the organization treats them well (Franscisco & Sara, 2017). Some of the ways to enhance organizational Citizenship Behaviors in an organization are having an effective leadership in place and motivating the employee (Heather & Lorne, 2017). The factors motivate the employees to go past their boundaries just to see the organization prosper.
There are a few questions revolving around the topic. One of the questions is; what leads to enhanced organizational citizenship behaviors. The second question is; what are the effects of an enhanced organizational Citizenship behavior?
A topic that helps the understanding of a person ought to be of interest to the specific person. The current business world is evolving (Changsuk et al. 2017). There is a need to keep up with the pace. The strategies which used to work are no longer working. It is, therefore, a time to look for the strategies which can be effective.
Job motivation is a way of enhancing productivity. However, it does not come without the input of the organization (Roya et al. 2017). The topic is of importance to me because it has looked at the issue of job motivation but from a different perspective. Citizenship is making one feel as part and parcel of a more prominent course. With this in mind, it plays a significant role in enhancing productivity in any given organization.
In research, it is important to deal with an issue or topic that can be investigated further. Looking at the topic, it can be explored further (Alex et al. 2017). The topic only needs one to have a connection to organizations. After so doing, one can able to monitor or gather new data on the issue related to the topic. In short, the topic is interesting and gathering more information about it is interesting as well.
