The Influence of Gender on the Performance of Organizational Citizenship Behaviors

Deborah L. Kidder

Department of Management, College of Business and Economics, Towson University, Towson MD 21252, USA, deb{at}sba.uconn.edu

This paper examines the relationship between gender and reports of organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs). Drawing on gender role theory, I examine the effects of employee gender (male/female), gender orientation (masculine/feminine) and gender-dominated occupational choice (nurse/engineer) on OCBs. I hypothesize relationships between gender and the performance of gender-congruent OCBs, i.e., female-typed altruism and male-typed civic virtue. The results demonstrate significant differences in line with traditional gender roles. Implications are discussed.
