What does OCB mean in UNCLASSIFIED

Organisational Citizenship Behaviour (OCB) is a term used in organizational behaviour and industrial psychology. It refers to the behaviour of employees that goes above and beyond the job requirements.

OCB helps an organization by providing services, helping other employees, and being conscientious. This type of behavior can create a productive work environment which leads to greater efficiency and positive results for the organization as whole.

Yes! An employee who exhibits OCB can expect potential rewards such as recognition from their coworkers or supervisor, respect within the workplace, and appreciation from their employer.

While exhibiting OCB can have positive effects on an employee's career, it can also be seen as overstepping boundaries if not done properly or respectfully. If a coworker feels mistreated in anyway due to another's display of OCB there can be consequences for both involved parties.

Some examples of organisational citizenship behavior include helping out colleagues with their tasks when they are overwhelmed, speaking positively about the organisation even outside work hours, mentoring new employees, etc.
