Data from 222 respondents working in Johor, Melaka and Negri Sembilan were collected through a structured questionnaire using disproportioned stratified sampling procedure. Results indicated that majority of the respondents agreed on statements under LMX dimensions of affect, loyalty, contribution and respect with recorded means of between 3.55 to 4.05. Correlations showed that LMX and its dimensions have positive significant impact towards OCB readiness. In order to accomplish the mandated objectives and to gain public trust and confidence towards local governments’ efficiency and competency, nurturing quality dyadic relationship between leaders and subordinates should be given priority as results have proved to be significant in elevating OCB among local governments’ employees.
