Abstract:
Increasing participation in decision making by teachers in educational
institutions promote institutional effectiveness. Past research has
focused on the differential relationships of teachers' participation in
decision making and organizational citizenship behaviour. However, no
systematic effort has been undertaken yet to explore interaction effects
between participation in decision making and organizational citizenship
behaviour. Present study predicts teachers' job involvement would act as
moderator to influence the strength of the relationship between
participation in decision making and organizational citizenship
behaviour. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses were conducted to
test the hypotheses formulated for the study. Data were collected for the
655 faculty members working in private engineering institutions,
affiliated to JNT University, India. Results supported the role of job
involvement as potential moderator between participation in technical
decision making and organizational citizenship behaviour. The
implications of the study are relevant to the administrators, head of the
department and all the people holding power in engineering institutions.
