             Problem Statement
             All institutions wish to practice the concept of OCB. However, only few institutions can actually achieve.
             OCB are very crucial element in every organization and have been studied broadly. Awareness of the
             importance of OCB is increasing in most of the organization make some companies start to encourage
             this positive behaviour among the employees.
                  Nature of work at college community are quite different with other institution , like mention in
             the background of study community college’s staffs also need to work at weekend in order to do the short
             course that targeting the community of the area to increase their life style. That condition are compulsory

             as  manufacturing,  retail,  and  service  industries.  Deckop,  McClendon,  and  Harris-Pereles  (1993)
             examined levels of OCBs among university faculty and how unionization of those faculty might affect
             their OCBs. Other studies have looked at OCBs within the educational context, albeit in primary and
             secondary  education  (DiPaola  &  Hoy,  2005;  Bragger,  Rodriguez-Srednicki,  Kutcher,  Indovino,  &
             Rosner, 2005). However, only few researchers conducted the study on OCB in work engagement, servant
             leadership and POS. Hence, there are only fewer researches were conducted in Community College area
             that related to hands-on elements.
