Local government is ranked lowest in the three-tier Malaysian government behind federal government and state government. Three levels of hierarchy existed in local government structure specifically city council, municipal council and district council.

Thus, in responding to PCB statistics and lack in-depth research on local government, the objective of this study is to ascertain whether dimensions under organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB) namely altruism, courtesy, sportsmanship, civic virtue and conscientiousness are preconditions for local governments’ employees to portray towards reducing public complaints. Data from 493 respondents working in various categories of local governments throughout Peninsular Malaysia were collected through a structured questionnaire using proportioned stratified sampling procedure. Results indicated that majority of the respondents agreed on statements under OCB dimensions with recorded means of between 3.85 to 4.06 based on five-point Likert scale. Descriptive analysis for each item under OCB dimensions were examined and analysed. By creating and sustaining the occurrence of these OCB behaviours, the mandated objective in gaining public trust towards local governments’ efficiency and competency can be achieved since it is a low cost vehicle in influencing organizational effectiveness International Conference On Local Government And Social Science Tanjung Pinang, Kepulauan Riau
