(Johannes Anton) mogotsic@mopipi.ub.bw Mogotsi, Isaac Carter Organizational citizenship behaviour Knowledge sharing behaviour UCTD Thesis (DPhil)--University of Pretoria, 2010. This study argues that knowledge sharing behaviour is a kind of organizational citizenship behaviour and that as such (i) the two should be strongly positively correlated and that (ii) strong predictors of organizational citizenship behaviour should also strongly predict knowledge sharing behaviour. Since the organizational behaviour literature identifies job satisfaction and organizational commitment as robust predictors of organizational citizenship behaviour, the study investigated the interrelationships among knowledge sharing behaviour, organizational citizenship behaviour, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment. The study employed a correlational survey design, sourcing the empirical data from secondary school teachers in a number of schools in and around Gaborone, Botswana. As expected, knowledge sharing behaviour and organizational citizenship behaviour were significantly positively correlated, organizational commitment was a significant predictor of organizational citizenship behaviour, and job satisfaction and organizational commitment were significantly positively correlated. Contrary to expectations, however, both job satisfaction and organizational commitment were unrelated to knowledge sharing behaviour. Not all study hypotheses were supported, and as such, it would be premature to conclude, on the strength of the evidence presented in this thesis, that knowledge sharing behaviour indeed is a kind of organizational citizenship behaviour. Nevertheless, the positive correlation between knowledge sharing behaviour and organizational citizenship behaviour would seem to suggest that the role of organizational citizenship behaviour in organizational knowledge sharing is worth investigating further.
