Abstract
Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) is a behavior that extends beyond the
functions and behaviors formally required of workers in an organization. Such behavior is indispensable, because of its contribution to better organizational performance. The model presented in this study examines OCB of lawyers employed in the private sector in Israel, while relying on a continuous series of studies related to workers' commitment attitudes. The findings show that the commitment model contributes to explained variance in OCB. Specifically, affective organizational commitment and OCB are significantly related, as are career commitment and OCB. The empirical and theoretical implications of these findings are discussed.
