The relationship between corporate sustainability and organizational citizenship: The moderating effect of work-life balance and personal traits

Sustainability is an indispensable need for the continuation of the next generations. In addition, sustainability practices have now become a principle on an organizational basis (Wang & Lin, 2007), therefore, ensuring corporate sustainability is a strategic goal. With the awareness of corporate sustainability, institutions aim to maintain and develop economic growth, corporate reputation and relations with all their stakeholders. Corporate sustainability; businesses that take their social, environmental and economic dimensions as a whole and adopt this approach as a management strategy have the chance to keep their competitive power in their hands. On the other hand, when the literature is reviewed, it is seen that the number of studies examining the relationship between corporate sustainability practices and organizational behavior outputs is relatively few. In this context, the aim of the thesis study is to examine the relationship between corporate sustainability practices and organizational citizenship behavior and the moderator effect of work-life balance and personality traits on this relationship. Four scales were used in the study, and the population of the research is academic and administrative staff working in higher education institutions operating in Turkey. According to the results of the research, it has been determined that there is a relationship between corporate sustainability and organizational citizenship behavior. In addition, it was found that work-life balance had a regulatory role in this relationship, while personality traits did not have a moderator role.
