“…These results are consistent with those produced by Farzianpour et al [8] relating to gender factor, and Altuntas & Baykal [9] regarding the impact of employees' age. However, the result appeared contrary to those of Francis [10] who reported that employees' gender had no impact on OCB. Similarly, El-Badawy et al [13] found no significant relationship between gender, age, years of experience and education level, and OCB among Egyptian and Mexican employees.…”

“…Significant relations have been found between gender of managers, and their education level with OCB [8]; and between some employees' demographics such as age, work position, and institutional experience in addition to professional characteristics and OCB [9]. However, Francis [10] reported that employees' gender, educational level, and marital status had not affected their practicing of OCB. Beyond the employees' demographics, working environment had also influenced OCB; and psychological empowerment had a positive impact on OCB [11].…”

This paper aims to investigate impact of employees’ gender on OCB as per the employees’ perception in Jordanian governmental hospitals. A convenient sample of 126 employees working in the three main governmental hospitals in north of Jordan has been taken for the purpose of this study. The collected data includes linguistic terms that suffer from uncertainty which, in turn, cannot be dealt with traditional numerical values. The result prove that gender impact on OCB has shown statistically significant differences at (α=0.05) as far as altruism, courtesy, and civic virtue are concerned; and this variable stands in favor of males with the total score of 0.011%. Similarly, as far as the effect of age factor on OCB is concerned, there have been statistically significant differences at (α=0.05) in relation to courtesy, sportsmanship, and civic virtue with the total score of 0.27%. Finally, the results provide a baseline data for further studies which may contribute more significant in the field of OCB.

“…As about the education level of workers (Table 1) (Francis 2014). This difference in the education distribution could be explained by being a multinational company in Nigeria compared to policy of employing Yemeni people with lower educational levels particularly with the current conflict situation in Yemen.…”

Introduction: Oil is a naturally occurring liquid found in rock formations. It consists of a complex mixture of hydrocarbons of various molecular weights plus other organic compounds. The workers in Aden (Yemen) Petroleum Refinery are exposed to a wide variety of hazards that may affect their health which can be broadly classified as; physical, chemical, biological, mechanical/ ergonomics and psychological hazards. Aim of work: To identify the prevalence of work-related morbidities among Aden refinery workers and to study some associated correlates. Materials and methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in Aden Refinery Company (ARC), Alburigah district, Aden governorate, Republic of Yemen and included 398 workers. Data was collected by using semi structured questionnaire which included demographic data, detailed occupational history of the current and previous jobs, and history of work related illness. Results: The mean age of the studied workers was 42.91 ± 7.89 years. The study showed that allergy (e.g. occupational asthma, allergic rhinitis, skin allergy etc) is the most frequently recorded illness among the study participants (55.5%). Hypertension (42.2%) is the second common illness among them. Hypertension and cardiovascular diseases were statistically significant higher among smokers and those with work duration of ≥ 30 years. About one third (32.7%) of the studied sample had medical history of post-employment hearing defects which was statistically significant among those with work duration of ≥ 30 years, those who had history of noise exposure (37.5%) and those who were smokers. The current study also revealed that 8 cancer cases (2%) among the studied participants were

Organisational citizenship was measured using six items adapted from the 'Organisational Citizenship Behaviour Checklist' developed by Spector et al (2010) and validated by Gualandri (2012), as well as Uzonwanne (2014). Quality of work life was measured using five items adapted from the WRQoL scale developed by Van Laar et al (2007).…”

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of transformational leadership, organisational citizenship behaviour and quality of work life on job performance amongst supply management professionals employed by the South African government. Rationale:The depressed job performance of supply management professionals in the South African government presents an impetus to generate new empirical information on the subject in order to find solutions. Methodology:A quantitative survey approach was followed using a sample of 264 supply management professionals employed in the South African government and were based in Gauteng Province. A Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was conducted to assess psychometric properties of the measurement instrument. Hypotheses were tested using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). Findings:Transformational leadership had positive and significant relationships with organisational citizenship behaviour and quality of work life. Quality of work life exerted a greater influence of job performance than organisational citizenship behaviour. Value of research:The study provides current evidence of the influence of transformational leadership on organisational citizenship behaviour and quality of work life, as well as the influence of organisational citizenship behaviour and quality of work life on job performance amongst supply management professionals. Conclusion:Transformational leadership has a positive influence on organisational citizenship behaviour and quality of work life amongst supply management professionals in the government. Both organisational citizenship behaviour and quality of work life exert a positive influence on the job performance of supply management professionals in the government. Future studies should be extended to other professional cohorts in both the private and the government sectors.
