Abstract
This study examined the interactive effects of social responsibility a nd satisfaction with a university on extrarole behaviors among univers ity students. Findings indicated that university satisfaction was more strongly related to extrarole behaviors among students who were low r ather than high in social responsibility. The effect of social respons ibility on extrarole behaviors decreased as the level of satisfaction increased. Students satisfied with the university reported higher leve ls of extrarole behaviors regardless of their level of social responsi bility. In contrast, among those who were comparatively dissatisfied, students high in social responsibility reported higher levels of extra role behaviors than those low in social responsibility.
