Italian term or phrase: cittadinanza organizzativa
It is a sentence found in a report on employees psychological findings/effects. "Tale attaccamento di tipo psicologico verso l’organizzazione può infatti giovare ai livelli di turnover, di assenteismo e relativi alla prestazione lavorativa e può avere effetti positivi sui *comportamenti di cittadinanza organizzativa*" I am stuck on "cittadinanza organizzativa" or it is so simple that I may be getting lost in a pond?.

agree  Kieran McCann: I had not heard of this term in English but it looks as if the Italian phrase is indeed a calque on 'Organizational citizenship behavior'
