    (5th HRM Student Research Symposium 2018, Department of Human Resource Management, Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2018) Perera, P. W. N. D.; Karunarathne, R. A. I. C.
    Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) is an important and growing area of every Organization. Prior research on social support extensively have investigated the role of social support on employee success. However, we still know little about how support from distinct sources of support contributes to build OCB of operational level employees. Thus, the main purpose of this study was to assess the impact of 3 important, distinct sources of support, i.e. perceived supervisor support, perceived co-worker support and perceived organizational support on OCB in United Motors Lanka PLC. The study was quantitative and cross-sectional in nature. Using a structured questionnaire, I collected data from 80 operational level employees those who are employed in United Motors Lanka PLC. The data were analyzed using simple linear regression. The results showed that perceived organizational support significantly influence on OCB. However, our findings showed there is no significant impact of perceived supervisor support and perceived co-worker support on organizational citizenship behavior. We recommend management to create sense of OCB through increasing the support of organization by establishing fair reward system that responds to employee needs, builds an environment that will help employees to work smoothly, give training opportunities and intangible rewards to value their contribution to organization

    Nowadays employees are not only concern about the pay which they receive for their work, but also about how organization values their contribution and care about their well-being. Thus, employees expect from employers, to accommodate them with long-term, perceived organizational support at work. Therefore, employers focused on maintaining a sustainable workforce by promoting perceived organizational support which ultimately leads to build high levels of organizational citizenship behavior. The main purpose of this study is to identify the impact of perceived organizational support on organizational citizenship behavior by considering the mediating effect of employee engagement in staff and officer grade employees at People’s Bank in Colombo Region. Data were collected from 140 staff and officer grade employees through a survey questionnaire. The study sample was selected using the simple random sampling technique. Data analysis was performed by using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The results indicated that there is a positive moderate relationship between perceived organizational support and organizational citizenship behavior with the mediation effect of employee engagement. Furthermore, the findings of the study indicated that employee engagement partially mediates the impact of perceived organizational support and organizational citizenship behavior
