Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to develop a model that defines the impact of psychological contract breach,
identity salience, and equity sensitivity on organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) of pharmacy
faculty. Using social exchange and social identity theories, we develop a model and propose the potential
relationships among model constructs. Our theory-based model posits that equity sensitivity will have
direct effects on OCB and will also moderate the relationships between contract breach, identity salience,
and the performance of OCB. This paper provides university and pharmacy school leadership teams
insight into the potential predictors of job performance of pharmacy faculty members.
