An exploratory research was done to compare people with different levels of wisdom (& its components) on OCB. An online survey gathered data from two twenty-five private-sector HR employees from Delhi-NCR. The analysis was done using SPSS 20. It was found out that there is a significant difference in people with high and low levels of experience, emotional regulation, humor, reflectivity, and openness with respect to the OCB. Overall wisdom does seem to interact with OCB, but no such interaction was found with respect to gender and OCB. There was no significant interaction between gender and wisdom with respect to OCB. Finally, all the dimensions of wisdom and the overall level of wisdom had significant positive relation with OCB in both females and males.
