Background: Employees with more control over their tasks can handle workload better when having organizational
citizenship behaviors (OCBs). Aim: Explore the association between workload tolerance and OCBs. Study design:
cross-sectional descriptive correlational design. Setting: Faculty of Nursing & Technical Nursing Institute at Assiut
University. Subjects: Assistant teaching staff (no=69) and nursing educators (no=30). Tools: I- CarMen-Q Mental
workload questionnaire II- organizational citizenship behaviors scale. Results: the highest percentage of study
subjects had high level of workload tolerance and OCBs (82.8%, and 85.9%), respectively at Technical Nursing
Institute, also the highest percentage of study subjects has high workload tolerance and OCBs at Faculty of Nursing
Assiut University (89.9%, and 91.1%) respectively. Conclusion: There are positive correlations with statistically
significant relation between workload tolerance and OCBs. Recommendations: Conduct further research, across
broader educational settings and with larger, more diverse samples is recommended to generalize findings and guide
policy-making. And Promote strategies to enhance workload tolerance.
