This talk will examine the ubiquitous assumption that OCB benefits the organization and its employees. To that end, I will discuss research on both actors and targets of OCB (e.g., motives for helping, reactions to being helped). I will then discuss, and solicit audience feedback on, the implications of this work (e.g., in terms of performance management and employee selection) for organizations wishing to facilitate the beneficial aspects of OCB.
