The effectiveness and efficiency of teams determine organizations performance, productivity, and growth. The citizenship behavior plays a key role in this perspective. This research is conducted to determine, Procedural and distributive justice in pay and benefit leads to OCB (Organizational Citizenship Behavior), Procedural and distributive justice in promotion leads to OCB, OCB leads to profitable organization evidence from the growth and increased level of productivity in comparison with organization that have less OCB, Negative reinforcement reduces OCB.

So the procedural and distributive justice in pay, benefit and promotion don’t lead to OCB. But when the Supervisor’s support is moderating then the procedural justice leads to OCB.
