Abstract
This descriptive and analytic field study intends to assess organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) among Jordanian Universities. A random sample of (188) elements representing academic and administrative staff in four Universities was selected.

The results showed that overall OCB scored very high (4.34) on a 5-Likert scale. In addition, OCB showed significant variance with respect to age category (in favor of those who are 50 years and above). The author also has found that OCB five core dimensions (Altruism, courtesy, sportsmanship, civic virtue, and conscientiousness) are strongly and significantly correlated. Relevant recommendations were suggested to enhance OCB practices in Jordanian Universities.
