Lack of control over work and organizational citizenship behavior: overwork climate as a suppressor variable.

In our study, we demonstrated that both lack of control over work and organizational citizenship behaviors encompass two dimensions simultaneously. The first, namely dedication to work (which they both share), constitutes the positive correlation between these two variables. The second dimension (which separates the two variables), which constitutes the negative correlation between them, is an attitude. Lack of control over work is rooted in the negative attitude and stems from the overwork climate, while organizational citizenship behaviors can be more widely associated with the positive attitude which generally stems from positive evaluation of the working environment.
