The approach is rooted in the Affect Theory of Fredrickson's broaden-and-build theory and Social Exchange, which serve as theoretical frameworks for understanding the relationship between employee hope and OCB.Findings: The findings reveal significant positive relationships between both employee goal attainment and employee perception of organizational performance and employee hope. Additionally, employee perception of organizational performance and employee goal attainment are positively associated with organizational citizenship behavior (OCB).Implications/Originality/Value: The research findings have theoretical and practical implications. Theoretically, the study contributes to the understanding of the mechanisms underlying OCB by highlighting the role of employee hope and its relationship with other factors such as goal attainment and perception of organizational performance.
