Bu çalışmanın temel amacı Pencap eyaleti başkenti Lahor’daki bankalarda çalışanların örgütsel bağlılıklarının, özellikle duygusal bağlılıklarının ekstra görevler ve görev performansı üzerindeki etkisini belirlemektir. Buna ilaveten, ikinci amaç bu çalışanların örgütlerine karşı hangi seviyede bağlılık sergilediklerini ve işlerini yaparken buna bağlı olarak davranışlarının neler olduğunu ortaya koymaktır. Böylece bu çalışma, kayda değer kavramlara ilişkin algılara katkıda bulunacak ve çalışanlar bu davranışları sergileyerek performanslarını yükselteceklerdir. Bu anket bazlı çalışmada veri örneklemin kendisinin yanıtladığı anketler ile toplanmış ve veriye korelasyon temelli açıklayıcı araştırma tasarımı uygulanarak analiz edilmiştir. Bu çalışma Lahor,Pakistan’daki banka çalışanlarına uygulanmıştır. Mart 2013’te gönderilen 300 anketin içinden 270’i geri dönmüştür ve geri dönüş oranı %90’dır. Örneklem sayısı AMOS 18 ve SPSS 20 yazılımları ile yapısal eşitlik modelinin uygulanması için yeterlidir. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları, banka çalışanlarının duygusal bağlılığının ekstra görev performansında pozitif etkisi olduğunu göstermiştir. Çalışanlar kendilerini örgüte bağlı hissetmişler ve bu yüksek seviyedeki sadakat onların ekstra görev performansında bulunmalarına yol açmıştır. Kendilerini duygusal olarak kuruma bağlı hissetmişler, bu yüksek bağlılık onların ekstra görev performansı göstermelerine yol açmıştır. Banka çalışanlarının duygusal görev sadakati nedeniyle görev performansları daiyileşmiştir. Çalışmanın örneklemi sadece Lahor, Pakistan’daki kamu ve özel sektör bankalarında görev yapan çalışanlardan oluşmaktadır. Araştırma anketi Örgütsel Bağlılığı, Görev Performansı içinde Ekstra Görev Performansını ölçmek için kullanılmıştır. Bunun yanı sıra gelecekte aynı konunun farklı boyutları nitel araştırmalar ile batılı olmayan ortamlarda araştırılarakkeşfedilebilir. Bankacıların örgütsel bağlılığı (duygusal sadakat) ve bu durumun ekstra görev alma performansına (örgütsel vatandaşlık davranışı) etkisi ve rol davranışı ile performansın önemi göz önüne alınırsa, üst düzey yöneticiler ve politika yapıcıların bağlılığı arttırmak için gerekli adımları atması, çalışanların ekstra görev alma performansını arttıracaktır. Bu konu ile ilgili bazı önerilere yer verilmiştir.
