Abstract: An employee who displays organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) is likely to have high job performance because he/she requires minimal monitoring from their supervisors. It is therefore important to isolate antecedents of OCB. In this study we use Podsakoff, MacKenzie, Paine and Bachrach’s (2000) model, of OCB to isolate antecedents of OCB among academic staff in universities in Uganda. According the model, we postulate that OCB is a function of employee characteristics, task characteristics, organizational characteristics, and leadership behavior. In this paper, we give the background of the study, the problem; study objectives and significance. We also review literature related to the objectives and draw hypotheses thereof. Using a positivism approach, we suggest the methodology we shall use to test hypotheses.
