Abstract: This article investigates the empirical association between role clarity and organizational citizenship behavior and how this relation is moderated by gender. The data of 272 executives have been collected from management development programs conducted in various public and private Indian organizations. Chi-square difference test (Bonferroni method), latent mean approach, sub-group analyses, and multiple group confirmatory factor analysis have been used to analyze the responses. Results indicate that role clarity is positively related to all dimensions of organizational citizenship behavior. Out of five, four dimensions show signs of gender’s moderation; women scored higher in role clarity’s relation with altruism, courtesy, and conscientiousness and men showed higher role clarity–civic virtue relationship. Implications and future scope are also discussed.
