Description:
This book extends current literature on Organizational Citizenship Behavior in schools. It sets out to critically analyze and examine teachers' OCB from a contextual perspective and to display the concept's uniqueness in the context of school, its dimensions, boundaries, antecedents and consequences from a multi-level perspective.
Review Quotes:
'What makes this book special, is that Somech and Oplatka draw together the individual and the organisational factors which make up the capacity of a school to become and remain effective and, importantly, point to the need to focus on the cognitive and emotional health of both if children and young people of school age are to receive the high quality education to which all are entitled. Whilst the reader will find no solutions to the continuing quest for raising and sustaining teacher commitment and quality, they will find in this book plenty of important signposts.' - Professor Christopher Day, University of Nottingham, UK
