The hypotheses were tested using Spearman's correlation coefficient, and the level of significance between the independent and dependent variables was ascertained using the one sample test model which was made feasible with the help of IBM SPSS version 25. The study found a strong positive association between job enrichment and organizational citizenship behaviour.
