    (Department of Human Resource Management, Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2017) Silva, H. M. S. V.; Ranasinghe, W. A. C. U. K.
    The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of Organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) on Role conflict in a leading paint company Sri Lanka. This is a quantitative study conducted within the positivistic research philosophy using the deductive approach. This study was carried out as cross sectional study with a sample of 150 operational level employees who are directly engaged with the production process. Simple random sampling and survey strategy was followed in the study. A self-administered, anonymous, pre-tested questionnaire was used for data collection purpose. A theoretical basis for a relationship between OCB and role conflict was identified using Role theory. The first hypothesis was tested using multiple regression analysis and it was possible to conclude that there is a that 60 % of the variance in role conflict of operational level employees is explained by organizational citizenship behavior alone. The dimensional analysis was conducted to test sub hypotheses of H1 and it revealed that civic virtue as a most influential dimension (ß =.580, p < 0.05) of OCB on role conflict of operational level employees. As the number of studies testified OCB on role conflict in the Sri Lankan context is limited the present findings have implications for researchers and practitioners to identify efforts that work toward increasing commitment of team members, thereby increasing organizational citizenship behavior in the organization.

    Development of a Conceptual Framework Integrating Entrepreneurial Intention, Start-Up Preparation, and Start-Up Decision
    (Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya., 2023) Silva, H. M. S. V.
    The fundamental goal of this study is to develop a conceptual framework that integrates entrepreneurial intention, startup preparation, and startup decision. Thus, the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) technique and article selection based on the PRISMA approach is applied in this study. Between 2000 and 2020, the study included 38 papers from well-known databases. After reviewing previous literature, this study identified seven research gaps. Eventually, it developed a conceptual framework with three contextual variables: perceived educational support, perceived relational support, perceived structural support with perceived behavioral control, entrepreneurship intention, start-up preparation, and start-up decision. This first study combines all seven variables, resulting in start-up decisions under a single framework. The essential constraints are relying on a few databases and using only 38 peer-reviewed publications published in scholarly journals and written in English. Furthermore, academic research articles published between 2000 and 2020 are excluded. This study proposes practitioners of the aspects required early in beginning a business, which supports formulating effective policies for prospective entrepreneurs to enhance economic growth and innovation at the firm and national levels.

Findings of the study revealed that that there is an impact from distribute, procedural and interactional justice on employee citizenship behavior and further, as a whole there is a significant impact from Organizational justice on Employee citizenship behaviour.
