Abstract

Organizational Citizenship Behavior has been premeditated by various distinguished scholars and managerial connoisseurs for the last few decades. Be it Dennis Organ who disseminated the theory in 1988 or any other well-known academician, the interrogation of how much volunteerism is too much volunteerism always triumphs. The concerned study purposes to afford a lucid view of the various potentials that an employee must possess to underwrite willingly to the organization. The study also furnishes investigated primary data to accept/reject its hypotheses. The research article affords minuscule niceties regarding the central perceptions of OCB. It also aims to retort the various characteristics of emotional interactive personalities in human beings through applied Indian mythology so that an evocative supposition can be accomplished on employee volunteerism.
