Abstract:

This paper investigates how destructive work behaviors, Organizational Citizenship Behaviors (OCBs), and fiscal decentralization intersect in developing countries’ economic development. Corruption and inefficiency in decentralized systems hinder governance and economic growth, while altruism and conscientiousness in organizations foster transparent, collaborative cultures. Giving more power to local governments through fiscal decentralization can lead to better service delivery and meeting the needs of the community, as long as negative behaviors are minimized and organizational citizenship behaviors are promoted. The essay focuses on the importance of interventions, such as anti-corruption initiatives and ethics training, to develop governance integrity and sustainable economic growth.
