A small sample was exposed to SPSS software analysis for instrument validity, reliability and data normality. Findings - The study validated the reliability of the instrument in conducting a preliminary study, obtaining reasonable normality and highly reliable coefficients of measures (0.753-0.938). Originality/value - The study validated the effectiveness of the instrument that examined different specific antecedents of OCB.
