Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explain the model of strategic organizational citizenship behavior based on its dark sides. Therefore, it has been tried to help reduce the theoretical gap of organizational citizenship behavior by examining the dark sides of OCB and, by identifying them at different levels, the conceptual model of the identified harmful effects has been presented along with practical solutions for avoiding these dark sides. Thus, organizational citizenship behavior has been developed by introducing strategies based on the presented solutions. By doing so, a set of the existing body of knowledge was developed, which was considered as a fundamental research of a qualitative type. Therefore, a hybrid model was applied as a research strategy and a qualitative method of content analysis along with expert interviews were extracted the concepts and to modify the model. The findings present three categories of prescriptive strategies by the side of the main OCB model to avoid the dark sides that formed the concept of Strategic Organizational Citizenship Behavior or OCB+S.
