Extensive research has established a strong, reciprocal relationship between job satisfaction and OCB in the workplace. The aim of this study was to examine perceptions of OCB and the effect those have on perceptions of job satisfaction. It was hypothesized that perceptions of OCB would positively predict perceived job satisfaction. It was also hypothesized that attribution would moderate the relationship between perceived OCB and perceived job satisfaction. Finally, it was hypothesized that ratings of perceived OCB engagement would be positively related to perceived working relationship with the individual’s supervisor. Data were collected from a sample of 85 participants. Simple linear regression was used to test the first hypothesis and it was found to be supported. Ratings of perceived OCB engagement did significantly predict perceived job satisfaction. A hierarchical regression was used to test attribution as a moderator but the results were not significant. A correlation was used to test the relationship between perceived OCB engagement and perceived working relationship with the supervisor and the results were significant, supporting the third hypothesis. The results have both theoretical and practical implications, which are discussed along with limitations and future research directions.
