Malaysia in 2010, participated in the study. A purposive sampling technique was employed, where a total of 298 completed questionnaires were received from each group. The findings show no significant differences between the responses from employees and their supervisors for the same questions with 83.18 per cent of the ratings are exactly the same or differing by one level on the Likert scale. Structural equation modelling was employed for hypotheses testing. Suppression effect was detected in the original model due to the high correlation between TL and HRD practices.

CSI was found to have significant direct and indirect (through altruism) relationships with IWB. Employees whose perception of organisational support is high tend to be more altruistic, and those possessing proactive personality are found to be more willing to engage in IWB.
