Is religion the missing part in leadership and organization citizenship behavior theories?

Summary/Abstract: The human being is the main axis of development using management and leadership styles in addition to organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). The common link between developmental issues is how to influence the human to achieve satisfying outcomes. In all cases, the human is targeted as a machine that should work with maximal efforts. The employees respond to the stimuli by their leaders, managers, or employers, hoping that some sort of future stability is going to be accomplished. However, the components of human beings can not only be physical, but they are also more complicated and expanded to include soul and religion. This study reviewed the literature in addition to our existing data about the importance and role of religion in influencing the followers to increase their efforts to maximal even without extra-cost. The previous theories in leadership and OCB can explain why employees are ready to work more without asking for compensation. One of the explanations is to perceive himself as a human playing a significant role in his organization. This can be one theme included in religion. However, when the scope of religion is more expanded and touched by the whole leaders and managers, this will be positively reflected on the followers including employees to end with the best working achievement.
