الملخص EN

The current study sought to understand how individuals working in the retail and manufacturing business perceive their supervisors' behavior and how this encourages or discourages their organization-al citizenship behaviors (OCB).

data were gathered using a qualitative approach involving 22 interviews with employees working in the retail and manufacturing business.

transcribed interviews were thematical-ly analyzed and resulted in the formation of themes and subthemes relating to the factors contributing or discouraging OCB.

employee support, feelings of trust and security, recognition, fairness, proper communi-cation, and respect were identified as the factors positively influencing OCB findings suggested that verbal aggression, distrust and unfairness, apathy, and lack of knowledge neg-atively affect employees' OCB.

this paper adds to the body of literature on which factors influence subor-dinates' OCB in a Saudi context.

organizations may want to apply the results of this study to their policy as OCB is important for the success of any business.

OCB is usually studied in a western context and by means of quantitative methods.

the value of this study is that it researches OCB in a middle eastern context more specifically in the context of Saudi Arabia-and that it deploys qualitative methods to create an in-depth understanding of the factors encouraging and discouraging OCB.
