Abstract:
A study involving 344 University employee in Port Harcourt found that in-group and out-group practices significantly influence organizational citizenship behaviors. Group efforts decrease organizational behaviors, negatively impacting the organization's effectiveness. Individual efforts enhance group performance. Recommendations include introducing policies that reward group efforts, enhancing flexibility and resource optimization, facilitating collaboration and teamwork, and demonstrating leadership through effective group programs. A result-oriented approach is suggested to meet organizational needs and reduce cross-functional inefficiencies. A group-friendly culture can encourage effective collaboration and organizational citizenship behaviors.
