Abstract

Organizations consist of individuals from different age groups, cultures, and, most importantly, individuals with different personality traits in line with their purpose of existence. Therefore, this study is pointed to measure the effect of the proactive personalities of employees on organizational citizenship behaviour. The research sample comprises bank employees in various positions in a public bank operating in Turkey. The research data were collected through a questionnaire, and the sample size was determined as 183. In the research model, proactive personality is considered the independent variable, and organizational citizenship behaviour and dimensions are considered the dependent variable. Simple linear regression analysis was used to test the model developed in the research and the hypotheses based on this model. As a result of the data obtained, it was observed that a proactive personality has a significant and positive effect on organizational citizenship behaviour. In addition, it has occurred that the employees' proactive personality significantly and positively affects the behaviours of "altruism-courtesy, civic virtue and conscientiousness" among the dimensions of organizational citizenship behaviour.
