Abstract: Organizational Citizenship Behaviour (OCB) a key determinant of organizational success is getting prime focus in the research arena. The different antecedents and consequences of this discretionary behaviour are being considered as important for management of human resources. From among the different impacting variables explored through numerous researches, the relationship with workplace commuting, the daily travel between place of work and place of residence stands critical. The study focuses on finding out the impact of workplace commuting on citizenship behaviour of employees. Different dimensions of workplace commuting were identified and related with those of citizenship behaviour. Statistical analysis revealed the relationship between independent and dependent variable. Even though the relationship between the variables are rejected by the study, the negative correlation figures indicating lowering of citizenship behaviour as a result of workplace commuting and its different variables is worth noting. The study concludes by emphasizing the importance of further research including variables like culture and performance.
