Objective: Organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) is one of the important concepts that has been an effective factor in the success of organizations in recent years. Despite proving the effect of OCB on the effectiveness and efficiency of the organization, the appropriate method to determine its effect is less known. OCB is a qualitative index as an output in performance evaluation. In this article, we measure the effect of the OCB quality index on the efficiency of institutions by using the envelopment analysis method of ordinal data without compensatory properties.
Research methodology: data coverage analysis is a powerful tool for evaluating the performance of decision-making institutions, based on multiple input and output indicators that can be quantitative or qualitative. Data coverage analysis models have compensatory properties, in fact, the weakness of one index is covered by the strength of another index, and efficient institutions do not necessarily have an optimal quality level. In this article, a new method for performance evaluation including the quality index of OCB and modification of data envelopment analysis model without compensability is presented. Another feature of the proposed model is the ability to separate qualitative and quantitative indicators in the evaluation. In the presented method for ranking the institutions, the improvement of quality is simultaneously considered along with the reduction of costs without compensatory features.
Findings: In this research, ten government and public scientific-applied institutions in three cities of the country have been evaluated with the proposed model. In the evaluation, four quantitative indicators and a qualitative index of OCB were used.
Originality/scientific added value: The OCB index was measured using 1024 questionnaires, and the results show the efficiency of 7 institutions. Then, by using the proposed new method, the ranking of institutions with logical results in performance evaluation was achieved. To validate the method, the results of the proposed method have been compared with the ranking results of the hierarchical process method.
