The sample consisted of pharmaceutical employees in (n = 75 males, n = 75 females) with age range (25 to 60) years (M = 33.58, SD = 8.22).Affective organizational commitment and normative organizational commitment were measured through Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (Allen & Meyer, 1997). Intra role and extra role behaviors were measured by Smith’s Intra role and Extra role Dimensions (Smith, Organ & Near, 1983). The results showed that affective organizational commitment is positively related to intra role and extra role behaviors. Moreover, normative organizational commitment also has positive relation to intra role and extra role behaviors. Thus the findings are consistent with the hypothesis.
