Organizational Citizenship Behaviour and Demographic Profiling: An Exploration Study among Local Government Workforce in Terengganu, Malaysia | Chapter 02 | Current Perspective to Economics and Management Vol. 4
Local authority is the manager of urban environment and ranks last under
the Malaysia government structure after Federal and State governments. The main
duty of local authority is to stimulate economic growth and social development
of a district. However, the operational roles that these local authorities
supposed to portray have to some extent do not meet the public expectations,
resulting in various complaints being filed as evidenced from Public Complaint
Bureau statistics. In response to the public outcry for better service
delivery, the objective of this research is to investigate the effect of
demographic factors (gender, age, working experience, supervision period and
service group) in influencing the exhibition of citizenship behaviour among
local authority workforce in east coast region of Malaysia. 167 respondents
from four local authority in Terengganu have participated where data were
collected using stratified random sampling approach. Empirical results revealed
that only supervision period has significant influence in elevating employees’
Organizational Citizenship Behaviour, hence, supporting social exchange theory.
Therefore, management should undertake hands-on actions in warranting that
these demographic variables be strengthened in invoking employees’ citizenship
behaviour towards instilling community confidence towards diverse services
provided by local authorities.
