Conclusion
In this research, it is noted that there is a correlation between the
organizational communication and the organizational citizenship
behavior of employees. In other words, the effective communication is
not only necessary to build up proper channels between managers and
employees, but also necessary to contribute implicitly the overall
performance of organization.
According to the findings, organizational communication has to be
considered as an important issue to foster employees’ organizational
citizenship behavior. To make clear the correlation between
communication and OCB in detail, it is noted that the number of
participants will be very important key factor of a new search.
