In order to meta-analyse 153 studies conducted in Korea, Hunter and Schmidt’s(2004) and Borenstein, Hedges, Higgins, & Rothstein’s(2005) meta-analytic procedures were adopted. Results showed that all the subcategories of OCBs have generalizable relations across studies with conscientiousness and agreeableness whereas individuals-oriented and organization-oriented OCBs have generalizable relations across studies with neuroticism and openness to experience. In addition, individuals-oriented and change-oriented OCBs have generalizable relations across studies with extroversion. Comparison of different rating methods revealed that self-reporting method has larger effect size than that of other-rating method due to common method effect. In meta-analytic regression analysis, all of the personality factors were mediated by both facet and overall job satisfaction. Lastly, the implications and limitations of this research were discussed.Read More
