  • In order to increase the functionality and efficiency of municipalities, workplace relationships among the employees and employee behaviors towards the organization must be investigated and developed. In this research, the relationship between Locus of Control and Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) and the mediating effect of Decision Making Style (DMS) between them were investigated. Nicosia, the capital and the most populous city of TRNC, was chosen in the case study in order to access robust data. The sample size of the study was 388 employees, the group consisted of employees with different job position such as branch supervisor, civil servant and worker and Structural Equation Modeling is used for data analyses. The theoretical aspects of relationships among the given variables are discussed with the aim of providing a valuable contribution to the literature.
