Assessing Organizational Citizenship Behavior in the French Context: Evidence for the Four-Dimensional Model

Although researchers have extensively studied organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) in the U.S. context. OCB measurement has received relatively limited attention in other contexts, specifically in the French-language context. Using 2 samples (for Study 1, N = 292; for Study 2, N = 355), the author investigated OCB in a French-language context. Using an exploratory factorial analysis in Study 1, the author found a 4-factor model (altruism, civic virtue, sportsmanship, helping others). Using a confirmatory factor analysis in Study 2, the author confirmed a 4-factor model. Data provided results that show some differences and similarities between U.S. and French contexts.
