Abstract

The purpose of the project is to determine if the concept of Office Housework (OH) is included as an Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) or if the two are different and form two separate constructs. This project proposes to use two preexisting OCB measures and a list of OH tasks and have participants rate each item on how well it represents the behavior of an ideal employee. The results will be analyzed via confirmatory factory analysis (CFA). Additionally, this study seeks to determine if men are participating in less OH than women because of lower self-efficacy for tasks of that nature. Participants will be asked the frequency at which they complete OH tasks and how confident that are in their ability to complete them. The results will be analyzed by multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). The results of the study will clarify Office Housework’s role in contextual performance and if there are discrepancies in contextual performance between men and women.

Office Housework: Standalone Concept or Organizational Citizenship Behavior?

The purpose of the project is to determine if the concept of Office Housework (OH) is included as an Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) or if the two are different and form two separate constructs. This project proposes to use two preexisting OCB measures and a list of OH tasks and have participants rate each item on how well it represents the behavior of an ideal employee. The results will be analyzed via confirmatory factory analysis (CFA). Additionally, this study seeks to determine if men are participating in less OH than women because of lower self-efficacy for tasks of that nature. Participants will be asked the frequency at which they complete OH tasks and how confident that are in their ability to complete them. The results will be analyzed by multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). The results of the study will clarify Office Housework’s role in contextual performance and if there are discrepancies in contextual performance between men and women.
