Abstract

This study determined the effects of Dialectical Behaviour (DBT) therapy on (Organisational Citizenship Behaviour) OCB among counterproductive local government employees in Ibadan, Nigeria. The study employed quasi-experimental design, while multistage and simple random sampling procedures were adopted. The administrative staff exhibiting counterproductive work behaviour were purposively selected. The instruments used were Organisational Citizenship Behaviour (α =0.80), Counterproductive Work Behaviour (α =0.89), Job Satisfaction (α =0.77) scales and therapy guides. Data were analysed using Analysis of Covariance and Bonferonni post-hoc test at 0.05 level of significance. The results indicated that participants’ age was 35.00±6.41 years and 55.6% were female. There was a significant main effect of treatment on OCB(F(2,75)= 8.761, p<0.05, η2= 0.189). The participants exposed to DBT (66.09) and control (55.40) groups. There was a significant main effect of job satisfaction on OCB (F(2,75)= 8.99, partial η2= 0.19). The participants with high job satisfaction obtained higher post-adjusted mean score (5.98) than their counterparts with low job satisfaction (59.25). There was a significant interaction effect of treatment and job satisfaction on OCB (F(4,75)= 3.08, partial η2= 0.14), in favour of the participants with high job satisfaction. Dialectic behaviour therapies enhanced organisational citizenship behaviour among local government employees in Ibadan, Nigeria, with emphasis on job satisfaction. Personnel and counselling psychologists should utilise the intervention.
