Organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) holds great significance for organizations. The present research investigates the influence of employee autonomy and family motivation on OCB through the mediating effect of intrinsic motivation and moderating role of fairness perception on the association between employee autonomy and OCB. Using the convenience sampling techniques, data were collected from 418 teachers working in private and government schools. Our findings support the hypothesized model, suggesting the significant role of intrinsic motivation in explaining the association between employee autonomy, family motivation, and OCB. Furthermore, the significantly negative interactional impact of employee autonomy and fairness perception shows that individuals with high fairness perception tend to invest lesser in organizational citizenship behavior.
