The aim of the research is to examine the dependency of job satisfaction (JS) and organizational citizenship behaviors (OCB) with its two dimensions (individual and organizational), among IT users in Poland, a transition economy.

The analysis is based on a survey conducted among 362 IT users in south-west region of Poland.
