The Effect of Organisational Citizenship Behavior on Cultural Diversity: A Case Study of Ophthalmological Hospital Friendship Algeria-Cuba

Abstract

The increasing mobility of people around the world has led to an increasingly culturally diverse workforce, and there may be negative effects on certain cultural groups to achieve an organisational competitive advantage. In relation to this idea, this study shows the influence of both a shared vision and loyalty, teamwork, and nationality, gender, satisfaction, justice, and conflict tolerance on organisational citizenship behavior in light of cultural diversity. Testing whether these factors are related to the determination of organisational citizenship behavior through the binary response technique of multiple logistic regression, a random sample was selected from the general community of the Algerian-Cuban Friendship Hospital of Ophthalmology, and the number of its members was estimated to be 213 by answering a set of questions about the most influential factors in determining organisational citizenship behavior in the light of cultural diversity, the findings revealed a positive and meaningful relationship between shared vision, loyalty, teamwork, and nationality and organisational citizenship behavior In light of cultural diversity, these individuals often adapt to the new culture by changing their behaviors, values, and attitudes as well. Besides, there is no relationship between gender, satisfaction, justice, conflict tolerance and organisational citizenship behavior in light of cultural diversity. The current study suggests that the hospital management should formulate its values according to the employee's cultural citizenship values, and this should be done with the different dimensions of the employee's cultural citizenship values to reduce any conflict that arises due to differences in the value system, through training the employees continuously learn how to modify their behaviors depending on the cultural situations They face and strengthen organisational unity and cohesion. Organisational citizenship behaviors such as loyalty, shared vision, teamwork, job satisfaction, organisational justice, and tolerance of conflict can be linked to several competencies organisations use to select, train, and evaluate individuals In light of cultural diversity.
