Question

Bryan Dobbs, Director of Marketing at Sarga Inc. has received multiple complaints about Davy Siegler over the past two months. Apparently, he spends his day surfing the net, passes all his own work on to subordinates, and disrupts those around him by dragging them over to view various videos, jokes, and timewaster findings online. Dobbs sets up a meeting with the intention of discovering what issues are causing Siegler's clear lack of motivation and poor production. During the meeting, Siegler is passive-aggressive and displays motivation and resentment issues. He recently received an "above average" performance appraisal but no pay increase.
This activity is important because it allows students to better understand cyberloafing’s relationship to job satisfaction, and then provides an opportunity for them to apply pertinent theory in order to resolve the scenario presented in the video.

1. Davy’s behavior on the job is related to all of the following, EXCEPT

A. counterproductive work behavior.

B. stress.

C. inequity.

D. organizational citizenship behavior.

Answer 1

Answer:

D. organizational citizenship behavior.

Explanation:

In this scenario exemplified in the question, it can be said that Davy has all work behaviors except the behavior of organizational citizenship.

This behavior can be described as one that is not mandatory as part of the functional requirements of a job position, but an employee who presents organizational citizenship helps the company to promote a culture favorable to the maintenance of ethics and the development and performance of the organization as one all.

Any informal action by the worker that benefits the organization is part of the behavior of organizational citizenship. Some of these dimensions of behavior are altruism, loyalty, conscience, self-development, obedience, etc.

These behaviors are capable of promoting the well-being of the employee and the entire organization.
