THE MEDIATING EFFECT OF SENSE OF ORGANIZATIONAL IDENTIFICATION ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE AND ORGANIZATIONAL CITIZENSHIP BEHAVIORS OF PUBLICELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHERS
Abstract
The primary aim of the study is to find out the significance of the mediating effect of sense of organizational identification on the relationship between organizational culture and organizational citizenship behavior. Utilizing a correlational technique as well as a quantitative non-experimental and mediation research design, data were obtained from 300 public elementary school teachers working in Baganga North and South districts, Davao Oriental. The researcher used a universal sampling technique and the statistical tools mean, Pearson r, and path analysis. The study found very high levels of organizational culture, organizational citizenship behavior, and sense of organizational identification. In addition, there are significant relationships among organizational culture, organizational citizenship behavior and sense of organizational identification. Further, a sense of organizational identification partially mediates the relationship between organizational culture and organizational citizenship behavior. The results of the study contribute to the existing body of knowledge on organizational culture, organizational citizenship behavior, and teachers' sense of organizational identification.
