Pakistan Journal of Commerce Social Sciences, 6(2), 357-371. The quality of an organization s products and the performance of the managers are instrumental in the success of the organization.

Through the relationship identification model, the scholars propose an alternative mechanism for relating LMX to OCB. The mechanism is ingrained in the identification process rather than the reciprocal exchange process. The social exchange theory has been the traditional basis for understanding the relatio nships between LMX and OCB. The supervisors offer valuable inducements that include rewards stretching beyond the identified formal job description to the subordinates for the high-quality dyads. To ensure a balanced exchange relationship, the assistants go beyond the formal responsibilities and engage in OCB. Other than the traditional formal reward of the followers by the leader, it is necessary that the leader offers emotional support to the subordinates. This may make the members develop loyalty to the leadership than the organization. From multiple studies, the scholars have supported their argument and identified that the leader has a role that is reflected in the subordinates’ self-concept. The use of diverse and unbiased study participants adds to the relevance of the research in linking the LMX to the OCB through the identification theory.
