Abstract:
This study examined the relationships between psychological ownership, organizational citizenship
behavior, and perceived job performance among employees in private higher education institutions in
Bukidnon Province, Philippines, during the COVID-19 pandemic. A non-experimental quantitative
research design was used, employing a descriptive correlational design and hierarchical regression
analysis. The sample consisted of 142 employees in Private Higher Education Institutions in
Bukidnon Province during the COVID-19 outbreak. Moreover, online surveys and physical forms are
used to obtain the data. The researcher also utilized the statistical tools mean, standard deviation,
correlation coefficient, and hierarchical regression analysis. The sample was obtained using an
adopted questionnaire to gather the data. The researcher used a stratified sampling technique. The
results revealed that the participants had high levels of psychological ownership, organizational
citizenship behavior, and job performance. Furthermore, the results indicated that psychological
ownership and organizational citizenship behavior have significant positive relationships with job
performance; and significantly predict job performance. However, it was revealed that
Organizational Citizenship Behavior is more influenced considerably by Job performance.
