Abstract: This study investigates the interrelationships between hierarchical dynamics, organizational identity, and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) in prison organizations. Through regression analysis, structural equation modeling, and hierarchical linear modeling, the study validates 11 hypotheses regarding the influence of emotional attachment, personal life integration, and obedience to superiors on organizational identity and OCB. Findings reveal significant positive correlations between emotional attachment, obedience to superiors, organizational identity, and OCB. Team cohesion moderates the relationship between organizational identity and individual-oriented OCB. The mediating role of organizational identity is evident in the relationship between hierarchical dynamics and OCB. The study underscores the importance of fostering positive leader-member relationships and promoting organizational cohesion to enhance employee engagement and performance.
