In response, employees exercise additional efforts within an organization environment as
they perceive that an organization gives opportunities or resources and treats them
according to the standard of exchange. Drawing on need theory, social exchange theory, and
the two-factor theory, this paper, examines the influence of employee participation in
decision-making (EPDM) and perceived organizational support (POS) on organizational
citizenship behaviors (OCBs) within selected business organizations. The study’s sample was
drawn from 12 selected business organizations across some south-western states (Lagos,
Oyo, and Ogun) of Nigeria. This study adopts a quantitative research approach. The
questionnaires were randomly distributed. Out of 600 questionnaires, 569 questionnaires
were useful for analysis after analyzing the data with SPSS version 26. This paper showed
that employee participation in decision-making and perceived organizational support
pointedly and positively predict organizational citizenship behaviors within business
organizations. Further investigation revealed that age significantly and positively predicts
organizational citizenship behaviors, whereas an employee's educational qualification
significantly and negatively predicts organizational citizenship behaviors. Therefore,
organizational managers and human resources practitioners should encourage employees'
organizational citizenship and discretional behaviors that promote organizational success.
Besides, they should consistently work towards a significant reduction of negative
stereotyping of older workers.
