Findings
This section includes tables and comments based on the statistical analysis collected by
the means of the tools stated above.
1. Does the Mean Collected From Organizational Citizenship Behavior Scale and
Gender Variable Have a Statistically Significant Difference?
To answer the question, independent t-test was used to see whether the means of the
categories of gender variable show a significant difference or not. Descriptive statistics
are as in Table 2.

As seen in Table 2, 1076 female and 1676 male participants aswered the OCB survey.
The mean of male participants (69,1539) is higher than the mean of female participants
(66,3801). To figure out whether statistically there is a significant difference, t- test was
applied that is indicated in Table 3.

In the analsis, it is seen that both female and male participants’ scores (p=0,516>0,05)
are homegeneous, and this proves the required premise for t-test. Based on t- test
results, p (0,019 < 0,05) shows that the difference between males and females’ means
of OCB is statistically significant, which means citizienship behaviorutweighs more com-
pared to citizenship behavior of female participants.
