Abstract: Cross-cultural research studies with regard to organisation citizenship behaviour (OCB) focus primarily on testing various dimensions in different cultures. We have proposed in our study that culture is positively associated with knowledge sharing (KS) and OCB in the context of UAE and have further hypothesised this association is mediated by responsible leadership (RL). The data has been collected from employees and their respective supervisors of 46 mid-sized organisations from all the Emirates of UAE. The data regarding knowledge sharing and culture has been collected directly from 437 employees belonging to diverse industry sectors and cultures. The data regarding employees’ OCB has been collected from 117 supervisors of those employees. The results depict that culture has positive relationship with KS and OCB. RL is found to partially mediate the relationship between culture and KS and culture and OCB. Further, the findings, implications on managerial practices, and future research directions are discussed.
