Results showed a positive and significant relationship between OI and its components and OCB (r=0.52, P≤0.001), between OI and its components and EI (r=0.207, P≤0.041) and between EI and its components and OCB (r=0.487, P≤0.001), but EI cannot play a mediating role in the relationship between OI and OCB (0.21≥0.127=0.44*0.29).
