Abstract:
This study examined the degree of relationship between attribution bias and organizational citizenship behaviour of workers in construction companies in South East, Nigeria. The study adopted survey design using modified standardized structured questionnaire to elicit data. The population was obtained from selected construction companies during field survey. Systematic sampling technique was adopted in selecting four (4) construction companies from the region. The sample size and number of units allocated to each construction company was determined using Taro Yamane and Bowley's Proportional Allocation Formulae respectively. Spearman Rank Correlation was used to test the hypothesis on the platform of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 21.0. The finding revealed a negative and significant relationship between attribution bias and organizational citizenship behaviour of workers in construction companies in South East, Nigeria. The study therefore, recommends organizations need to entrench the principles of corporate governance in the system that would leave all stakeholders satisfied to reduce counter-work productive behaviour of employees. Construction companies need to build trust in management/employees relationship. Employees need to also exercise restraint in their actions because not all negative perceptions about management of the company holds true.
