ORGANISATIONAL CITIZENSHIP BEHAVIOUR, EMPLOYEE PERCEPTIONS OF EQUITY, ORGANISATIONAL COMMITMENT AND INTENTION TO STAY OF EMPLOYEES IN ZIMBABWEAN SMES

Abstract

While research constructs such as organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB), employee perception of equity (EPE), organisational commitment (OC) and employee intention to stay (ITS) have been researched extensively in developed countries, research on these constructs remains scant in developing countries. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are the stronghold of economies and societies worldwide. In Zimbabwe, as in any other country, there is a realisation that SMEs are innovative, flexible and require low startup capital. This study attempted to investigate the influence of OCB, EPE and OC on ITS in Zimbabwe’s SME sector. Structured questionnaires were distributed to SMEs in five major cities. Data were collected from SME employees who do not occupy managerial positions. A quantitative method using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling was employed to test the relationships among the five hypotheses. The results showed support for the five proposed hypotheses. Implications and future research directions of the study are provided.
