It was hypothesized that individuals perceiving high levels of conflict between their work and non-work life roles would exhibit reduced levels of organizational citizenship behaviors (OCB). A new measure of inter-role conflict and facilitation was tested on 169 full-time employed MBA students. Results primarily supported the direct effects of role conflict on OCB. However, organizational commitment was found to mediate the relationship between role conflict and the OCB dimension of loyalty. Research and organizational implications are discussed.
