Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Neurolinguistic Programming practices on organizational citizenship behavior in nursing.

Background: Neurolinguistic Programming practices are used for different purposes in many areas, and they can also be used to contribute to the acquisition of organizational citizenship behaviour.

Methods: The research is a randomized controlled trial. The sample of the study consisted of 180 nurses. The data of the study were collected through structured face-to-face interviews conducted with the nurses in the sample group, Neurolinguistic Programming training group, standard training and control groups between January and April 2020 after Neurolinguistic Programming training was received by the researcher. The Chi-squared test and the analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to analyze the collected data.

Results: A statistically significant difference was found in the total score of the organizational citizenship behaviour in the Neurolinguistic Programming training group compared with the standard training group and the control group (p < .05).

Conclusions: The use of Neurolinguistic Programming practices can be an effective method for nurses to gain organizational citizenship behaviour. Neurolinguistic Programming practices can be used to achieve the desired goals, especially for the acquisition of informing and participation, tolerance and conscientiousness behaviours.

Implications for nursing management: Organizational citizenship behaviour exhibited by employees is very important for organisations. With this behaviour, nurses can improve all processes, from the quality of care services they provide to patients, to satisfaction. Findings of this study may be used to increase work satisfaction of nurses and to improve the quality of services received by patients.

Keywords: Neurolinguistic Programming; nurses; organizational citizenship behaviour.
