Purpose- Review of literature tells us that “Organizational Citizenship Behaviour is the spontaneous, inbuilt and voluntary behaviour which an employee engages in so that the team and the organization as a whole can benefit from it”. The purpose of the current study is to identify the constructs and factors that inhibit this “extra role behaviour” known as Organization Citizenship Behaviour (OCB). Design- This study will be conducted on a sample of 150 male and 150 female employees who recently joined Sales and Marketing organization. OCB measuring scale developed by P.M. Podsakoff, Mackenzie, Moorman, and Fetter (1990) will be administered onto them. The results of this scale will indicate the level of OCB among these 300 employees soon after they joined the Sales and Marketing organisation. The same OCB measuring scale will be administered unto them regularly on quarterly basis. The results will be analysed using SPSS. The target sample will be the employees who have shown a consistent decline in OCB. By using mixed research methods (qualitative and quantitative methods) the study would focus on compilation of all the various factors responsible for decline of OCB among employees. Findings- Taken together, we integrate the literature on OCB, challenge the notion which suggested that employees display OCB even when it is completely unnoticed and guide future research on the topic of all the potential factors that inhibits OCB in organizations and what potential steps managements across the globe can take to maintain a high level of OCB among their employees. Originality/Value- OCB has been an area of interest for researchers from last 35 years. Scholars have discussed several definitions, dimensions and antecedents of OCB. However, none of the researcher to date have discussed as to what inhibits this extra role behaviour among employees and how can management work towards removing these inhibitors.
