Summary:The purpose of the study is to measure organisational citizenship behaviour in the higher education sector. 235 faculty members of 34 departments of University of Jammu were contacted by using census method. The study revealed that among sportsmanship, conscientiousness, civic virtue and two groups of altruism namely; altruism (self) and altruism (co-workers) only altruism (self) and civic virtue are significantly related to OCB. The study needs to be further extended with regard to the role of different variables (Ackfeldt and Coote, 2000; Giap et al., 2004; Somech and Ron, 2007; Shveta and Jha, 2009; Nga et al; 2010). The findings suggest that five dimensions identified in the study must be validated in education and other sectors in the future.
