Abstract

Today, positive thinking is one of the most important factors that influence the attitudes and behaviors of employees in the workplace. One of the behaviors that are very important for organizations is organizational citizenship behavior. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of psychological capital on organizational citizenship behavior with mediating role of occupational well-being and moderating role of job spiritual intelligence in employees of Lorestan Province Gas Company. The participants consisted of 222 employees of Lorestan Province Gas Company that were selected by multiple stages random sampling method. Fitness of the proposed model, indirect effect, and moderator effect was examined through structural equation modeling, bootstrap procedure, and moderated hierarchical regression. Findings indicated that the proposed model fit the data properly. The results also indicated that psychological capital directly and with mediating role of occupational well-being had impact on organizational citizenship behavior. Findings also indicated that job spiritual intelligence has moderated the relationship between psychological capital and organizational citizenship behavior. This research suggests that there need to provide conditions to promote psychological capital, occupational well-being and job spiritual intelligence to increase organizational citizenship behavior.
