Abstract

Current research paper is to delve into the employee-organization relationships as an effective factor on organizational citizenship behavior. The employee-organization relationships involve two dimensions: perceived organizational support and organizational identity. Job autonomy is a moderator variable between the employee-organization relationships and organizational citizenship behaviors. To do so, employees of Central Library of a governmental university has been assessed; and for the assessment of research conceptual model, a correlation approach and linear regression (with the use of SPSS application) has been used. Results indicate that perceived organizational support and organizational identity have a relationship and each of them have a relationship with organizational citizenship behavior; however job autonomy does not regulate the relationships of perceived organizational support and organizational identity with organizational citizenship behavior
