The literature on organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) is a rich one that has been studied by numerous researchers. Despite the extensive body of work, scholars are still finding ways to meaningfully contribute to the OCB literature by challenging its long- held assumptions and finding new discoveries. The purpose of this symposium is to add momentum to the development of this line of research by bringing papers that address a few of the assumptions and identify novel research ideas in the area of OCB. Specifically, Chong and Wu introduce a novel predictor of OCB, external volunteering, thereby expanding the literature on OCB to include factors that are outside of the workplace. Lee, Lee, and Hu also explore a novel predictor of OCB, peer monitoring at work. They explain that how employees interpret others’ monitoring of them affects their decision to engage in OCB or incivility subsequently. Poulton, Lin, Tu, and Xu introduce a novel stakeholder in an OCB event—witnesses—to explain how “ambient” OCB can affect the witness’s engagement in subsequent OCB or counterproductive work behavior (CWB). Lastly, Lee, Ong, & Koval identify how OCB understood from the perspective of the recipient could result in negative responses depending on the setting and specific qualities of the OCB. The papers in this symposium demonstrate how researchers can continue to expand the OCB literature in meaningful ways.
