Organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs) are commonly studied in the organizational and occupational health literature, yet, current OCB measures inherently assume individuals are performing these behaviors while physically at work. However, recent technological advances have afforded employees greater flexibility to engage in work-related behaviors at home, begging the question of whether OCBs are also being performed from home and their distinction from traditional OCBs. We provide evidence that OCBs performed while physically at work (OCB-W; i.

- Job satisfaction research traditionally follows a tripartite model based on cognitive and affective factors, but recent work integrates these ideas with network theory through the causal attitudes network (CAN) model, highlighting interconnectedness in attitudes.
- Using multiple datasets, the study demonstrates that job satisfaction is shaped differently by instrumental (e.g., pay) versus symbolic (e.g., supervisor) features, with instrumental factors forming stable clusters while symbolic ones evolve with experience.
- The CAN model reveals that central features in attitude networks can significantly influence overall job satisfaction and better predict employee turnover compared to traditional structural equation models, offering valuable insights for both research and workplace practices.
