Abstract

In a dynamic and competitive business environment, extra-work behaviors of the employees are needed to sustain the firms performance. Organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) is one of the extra-work behaviors that brings many positive impacts to individual and firms performance. However, most recent studies focused on studying OCB in the service sector despite companies in the manufacturing sector, such as FMCG companies, also needing their employees to do OCB to be able to operate optimally and gain competitive advantage. This study then aims at analyzing the relationship between workplace spirituality on OCB with affective commitment as mediator among FMCG employees in Indonesia. The data was collected from 199 FMCG employees in Jakarta Metropolitan Area, Indonesia via self-administrated questionnaires. To test the hypotheses, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was carried out in this study. The results of this study have confirmed that affective commitment mediates the relationship between workplace spirituality and OCB.
