Abstract.   The concept of derivations as well as generalized derivations (i.e. Ia,b(x) = ax + xb, for all a,b R) have been generalized as an additive function F : R R satisfying F(xy) = F(x)y + xd(y) for all x,y R, where d is a nonzero derivation on R. Such a function F is said to be a generalized derivation. In the present paper it is shown that: if R is 2-torsion free prime ring, I ≠ 0 an ideal of R and F a generalized derivation of R such that either F(xy) = F(x)F(y) or F(xy) = F(y)F(x) for all x,y I, then R is commutative.
