Abstract: This study was designed to investigate the relationships of demographic variables with the dimensions of organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB) and to compare the OCB among human service and information technology (IT) professionals. For this purpose a sample of 400 in total from two different professionals, i.e., human service and IT professionals were selected. Correlation, multiple regression and Z-test were carried out for the analysis of the study. The results of the study indicate that age and job experience emerged as a major predictor of OCB. Age and job experience were also found positively correlated with all dimensions of OCB, whereas significant negative relationship was found between marital status and dimensions of OCB. The inconsistent relationship was found between gender and dimensions of OCBs. The findings of this study will be helpful for the administrator in the public health sector and policy makers in the IT sector to reinforce positive attitude among the employees of both the sector.
