A data set for cross-cultural analysis containing the standardized ratings to 12 items concerning organizational citizenship behavior. Employees from different countries were asked to rate their attitudes towards helping other employees and giving suggestions for improved work conditions. The items are thought to measure two latent factors: helping behavior (first seven items) and voice behavior (last five items). See below for details.
