Abstract

This study examined the relationship between self-efficacy (SE) and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) among employees of Beta Glass Plc, Ughelli, Delta State, Nigeria. The study used a descriptive survey research design to assess the link between SE and OCB. Consequently, a total number of two hundred (200) copies of questionnaire were administered to the respondents of the study, out of which one hundred and forty-eight (148) were retrieved. The data generated from the study respondents were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and structural equation modelling (SEM). Pearson product moment correlation coefficient was used to establish the relationship between the study variables while path analysis (SEM) was used to test the research hypothesis. Finding of this study showed that there is a significant positive relationship between SE and OCB. Based on this finding, it was recommended that both managers and employees of Beta Glass Plc be trained on how to increases their level of SE in order to improve their performance of citizenship behavior.
