Abstract
Private University administrative staff in Oyo State seems to be exhibiting poor organizational citizenship behaviours, resulting in reduced support, job satisfaction, effectiveness, turnover, and reduced innovation. Factors contributing to this include poor organisational justice, work motivation, work-life balance, and poor working conditions among others. However, little research has been conducted on the influence of leadership styles and school welfare measures on organisational citizenship behaviour among administrative staff in private universities of Oyo State. Thus, to bridge this gap this study investigated the influence of these factors on organisational citizenship behaviour among administrative staff in private universities in Oyo State. A descriptive research design was used to guide the study. The population consisted of all 675 administrative staff in private universities in Oyo State. A complete enumeration sampling technique was used in the study. The findings revealed that the level of organisational citizenship behaviour among administrative staff in private universities in Oyo State was high ( x̄=3.23); the most adopted leadership style in private universities in Oyo State was the transformational style; level of school welfare measures was high (x̄=3.14); the combined influence of leadership styles and school welfare measures had a significant influence on organisational citizenship behaviour among administrative staff in private universities in Oyo State (Adj. R2 = 0.991) and (F(2,614) = 32145.714; p < 0.000); among the leadership styles, pace-setting demonstrates the strongest positive influence on organisational citizenship behaviour (β = 0.401, t = 15.325, P < 0.05); study leave does not significantly influence organisational citizenship behaviour (β = -0.003, t = -0.137, p > 0.05). Based on these findings, it was recommended among others that private universities should invest in comprehensive leadership training programmes and prioritise enhancing school welfare measures to encourage organisational citizenship behaviour among administrative staff in private universities in Oyo State.
