This article aims at investigating how the binary dummy-coded gender (female = 1, male = 0) and job position (operator = 1, supervisor = 0) moderate the direct relationship between compensation practice and organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB) in the ready-made garments manufacturing industry of Bangladesh. The present study employed the PLS-SEM (partial least square-structural equation modelling) technique to test the reliability and validity (convergent and discriminant) of the measurement scales and to verify the study hypotheses. The study used SPSS version 20 for descriptive analysis and SmartPLS version 3.3.9 for inferential statistical analysis. The results of this cross-sectional study of 121 employees revealed the significant moderating effect of gender and job position in the positive relationship between compensation practice and OCB. The study results also evidenced that the positive relationship between compensation practice and OCB showed stronger for female employees compared to males. Besides, the results equally confirmed that the compensation practice–OCB relationship became stronger for operator-level employees than supervisors. Findings are discussed in consistency with the previous studies and suggestions for future researchers and practitioners are highlighted at the end of this study.
