Beyond the Call of Duty: A Review of Organizational Citizenship Behavior

Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) refers to actins that are beneficial to an organization, but lite outside the parameters of the required performance of a job description. These behaviors can be directed towards another individual (OCB-I) or they can be organization-oriented (OCB-O). This paper provides a broad overview of the development of this sub-section of organizational behavior from its early stages that sought to find its antecedents, to more current studies that focus on its outcomes. An understanding of OCB will aid in the development of a productive workforce.

The Effects of Varied Types of Exposure on Subconscious Memory

Many studies have shown that information can be retained on a subconscious level. The relationship between different types of presentation of to-be-remembered objects and subconscious memory was studied. Undergraduate students from Northwest Christian University were asked to participate and were assigned to a “hands-on” group or “list” group. Participants in the hands-on group were asked to arrange nine physical objects in any manner. Participants in the list group viewed the word names of these same objects on a PowerPoint slide. After three minutes, all participants were asked to recall as many items as they could. It is expected that participants in the hands-on group will recall more items than those in the list group.
