Author(s): Samuel Fern�ndez-Salinero, Cristina Garc�a-Ael, Gabriela Topa

 The current study aims to explain how motivational orientations influence Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) through organizational identification considering the moderator effect of perceived discrimination. A sample of 286 Spanish immigrants in the United Kingdom was included. Main conclusions support that learning orientation shows a significant direct relation with OCB. Both approach and avoid goal orientation show a statistically significant impact on OCB. These effects are mediated by organizational identification and moderated by perceived discrimination. Implications and future research suggestions are discussed.
