摘要：The current study compared general and work-specific measures of personality as predictors of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). Consistent with the literature on frame-of-reference effects in personality assessment, two of the Five Factor Model dimensions - agreeableness and conscientiousness - were significantly related to OCB. Use of a frame of reference that is conceptually relevant to the criterion led to increased validity as a result of the decrement in between-subject variability and within-subject inconsistency. Results indicated that work-specific personality yielded significant incremental relationships with OCB even after general personality is controlled. Finally, regression analyses found that the incremental variance predicted by work-specific personality decreased as the degree of between-subject variability and within-subject inconsistency increased. Overall, the results suggest that there are benefits to considering the work-specific measure of personality in the prediction of OCB.
