The Relationship Between Psychological Capital and Organizational Citizenship Behaviors (Field Study on a Sample of Administrative Employees at the University of Tizi Ouzou)

The current study aimed to investigate the relationship between psychological capital and organisational citizenship behaviours.To achieve this, we used the psychological capital scale developed by Luthans, Avolio, Avey and Norman (2007), as well as a questionnaire on organisational citizenship behaviours among employees prepared by Shalabi Walid (2016) after verifying the psychometric properties of both tools.The sample consisted of 100 administrative employees at Mouloud Mameri University in Tizi Ouzou.A descriptive approach was adopted for the study.The results indicated a statistically significant correlation between psychological capital and organisational citizenship behaviours.Positive psychology focuses on exploring positive aspects of individual behaviours and investigating positive psychological functional features, such as well-being, happiness, optimism and mental wellness.The latter is considered an important indicator of mental health, as it encompasses significant dimensions that define well-being, such as autonomy, self-acceptance, positive relationships with others and a sense of purpose in life.
