Abstract
Organizations continuously seek to
create an environment where employees
go beyond their job brief
and engage in others’ welfare enhancing
behaviors that eventually
contribute to higher standards. The
study aims to examine the relationship
between organizational climate
(OC) and prosocial organizational
behavior (PSOB). Using social exchange
theoretical premise, three
dimensions of OC such as warmth,
standards and identity were used to
examine their relationship with
PSOB. The data was drawn from 387
nurses working in two non-profit
hospitals in a southern state in India.
Results indicate that all three dimensions
of OC (warmth, standards
and identity) significantly predict
PSOB in non-profit hospitals. It imparts
important insights to researchers
and managers of non-profit hospitals
about OC dimensions that
have to be given much attention to
institutionalize PSOB.
