Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) has always been a major concern in the organizational behaviour field. Albeit OCB has existed since decades ago, it is still in the emerging of development.

It was conducted at Agency Kaunseling & Pengurusan Kredit (AKPK) and the data were collected from 113 respondents by using self-administered questionnaires.
