As the environment changes, today's workplace is facing a generational change. There are differences not only in the daily life ideas but also in the work values among different generations. Reviewing the past related empirical studies, the study found most of them supported that work value has positive impact on organizational commitment and higher organizational commitment leads staff to exercise more organizational citizenship behavior. However, they focused on the relationship between two of them respectively. In the existing literature, there are few papers discussing the relationship among work value, organizational commitment and organizational citizenship behavior from the employee’s stand. Therefore, the study takes the perspective of social identity theory (SIT) to explore the association of employees work values and organizational citizenship behaviors, and to find whether they are linked with organizational commitment. Furthermore, the study wants to examine if organizational commitment has the mediating effect on the relationship between work value and organizational citizenship behavior. Sampling from SMEs in Taiwan, the study collected and analyzed 323 employee’s questionnaire data. After the empirical analysis, this study obtained the following results: (1) Work value has significant positive effect on organizational commitment; (2) Organizational commitment has significant partial positive effect on organizational citizenship behavior; (3) Organizational commitment has partial mediating effect on the relationship between work value and organizational citizenship behavior. According to the research results, the findings correspond with SIT. When employee’s interpersonal value fits with other members in organization, he/she identifies the team/organization they belong to. They cooperate and help each other to maintain good relationship, which leads him/her to have affective attachment to organization. In the course of daily work, he/she will show highly ardor, and strive to take the initiative prosocial behavior to improve organizational performance. Finally, the study offers three main suggestions for practitioners: (1) Tracing to the origin and exploring employee’s work value; (2) Being the role model and walking one’s talk; (3) Offering altruistic service and excreting citizen strength. Finally, the advice for further study is also provided. |
