Description The Real Spanish Academy defines Apathy as passivity, and lack of intetest and will, and it is integrated by Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) and Psychological Quitting; objectives of this study are to identify causes associated to Apathy that mexican workers show at an organizational context and to test an OCB model, researchers conducted a quantitative study so as to determine if Job Satisfation is an antecedent of OCB and if Job Psychological Quitting and Emotional Well-Being are consequences of OCB, by means of a sample of 227 employees that work at six different organizations. Researchers collected data by standarized surveys and analyzed data by LISREL’s structural equations modeling. Results validate the theoretical model; therefore satisfied workers respond favorably as good co-workers, and as a consequence do not avoid work and report a higher level of health and well-being.In order to test an Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) model, a quantitative study was carried out so as to determine if Job Satisfation is an antecedent and if Job Withdrawal and Emotional Well-Being are consequences of OCB, by means of a sample of 227 employees that work at six different organizations. Data was collected by standarized surveys an analyzed by LISREL’s structural equations modeling.

La Real Academia Española define a la Abulia como pasividad, desinterés, falta de voluntad y está conformada por Comportamiento Organizacional Ciudadano (COC) y Renuncia Psicológica; los objetivos del estudio son identificar las causas asociadas con la Abulia que trabajadores manifiestan en el contexto organizacional y de probar un modelo de COC; por lo cual se llevó a cabo un estudio cuantitativo a fin de determinar si la Satisfacción en el Trabajo es antecedente del COC y si la Renuncia Psicológica y el Bienestar Emocional son consecuencias del COC, en una muestra de 227 empleados que trabajan para seis organizaciones diferentes en la zona metropolitana de la ciudad de México. Mediante la aplicación de cuestionarios y un análisis de modelamiento de ecuaciones estructurales LISREL, se comprobó la validez del modelo teórico. Las personas satisfechas con su trabajo responden favorablemente como buenos compañeros de trabajo, y en consecuencia no evitan el trabajo y reportan un nivel superior de salud y bienestar.
