The main objective of this study was to investigate the mediating effect of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) in the relationship between transformational leadership (TLS) and corporate social responsibility practices (CSR). Another objective was to present adequate properties regarding the reliability of the scores, and evidence of the validity of the internal structure of the measurement instrument. Structure equation modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the data, which was randomly collected from 392 participants from the universities of Jordan. The overall assessment of the model was accepted and TLS was found to indirectly and significantly impact CSR practices through OCB, where the direct effect was significant, though lower than the indirect impact. This means that TLS is a good predictor of CSR practices, especially with the mediation of OCB. One of the implications of this finding is that leaders should promote OCB among their employees, as this will be reflected in their CSR practices, which is one of the requirements of sustainability. The originality of this research lies in it being the first to explore the indirect effect of TLS on CSR practices through OCB.

Contemporary businesses usually pay considerable attention to improve their employee work abilities, by paying attention to aspects of human resources. This study analyzes the effect of organizational climate, organizational citizenship behavior and transformational leadership as aspects that are predicted to increase job satisfaction and work morale. Sampling was taken using a non-probability sampling method, and through a Likert Scale with the questionnaire being distributed to 96 employees. The results of regression analysis show that there are significant effects of job satisfaction on work morale (t=2.706 and p=0.008 ≤ 0.05), organizational climate on job satisfaction (t=6.701; p=0.000≤0.05), and organizational citizenship behavior on job satisfaction (t=3.295; p=0.001≤0.05). In examining the mediating effect, the findings showed that there were significant effects of organizational climate on work morale through job satisfaction (t=2.492; p=0.015≤0.05), organizational citizenship behavior on work morale with job satisfaction interventions (t=2.311; p=0.023≤0.05). However, the study found that there was neither any significant effect of transformational leadership on job satisfaction nor transformational leadership on work morale with job satisfaction mediation. In theoretical term, the findings emphasize the importance of job satisfaction in forming company climate and employee morale. In practical side, this study found a basis for managerial level to pay more attention to job satisfaction in workplace as it also reflects an atmosphere that provides a combination of inside and outside work.

We develop a multi-foci framework—“follower dependence,” “follower independence,” and “leader-follower interdependence”—to explain how transformational leadership influences follower performance. Follower’s personal identification with the leader, psychological empowerment, and leader-member exchange are employed as proxies for each of the three foci. Two separate studies consistently show that personal identification (denoting a “follower dependence” focus) is a more salient mechanism than the other two in explaining the transformational leadership-organizational citizenship behavior relationship. These results suggest transformational leadership is perhaps a theory of follower dependence rather than independence or interdependence. Theoretical implications, limitations, and future directions are discussed.

Many studies had discussed about organizational behavior such as organizational culture, motivation, organizational commitment and many others topics. However, just few studies that discussed the mediation effect of the organizational behavior variables. Work engagement is one of the important variables in organizational behavior scope. This study proposes and tests a research model that investigates and examine whether work engagement functions as a mediator of the effect of transformational leadership on job performance and OCB. These relationships are assessed through SPSS using Barron & Kenny mediation method. Data are obtained from 97 employees of pharmaceutical company in Indonesia especially Solo Raya and Madiun City. The result shows that work engagement mediates the effect of transformational leadership on job performance. Moreover, this study provides evidence to support our intended hypothesizes, by applying correlation and regression analysis which result have revealed that transformational leadership effects OCB through the mediating effect of work engagement.

Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) is defined as an employee's voluntary behavior which is not formally rewarded in spite of its potential to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the organization. This study aimed to investigate the mediating effect of psychological empowerment in the relationship between perception of workload and OCB. This study used the approach-avoidance motivation as the theoretical framework. Research data were collected using the snowball sampling method that was implemented in an online survey that targeted employees of various private organizations in Indonesia (N = 201). The measures used in this study were the 9-item workload subscale of the Job Demand-Resource Scale, 12-item Psychological Empowerment Questionnaire (PEQ), and 14-item OCB subscale of the Task Performance Scale. Data were analyzed using the simple mediation regression technique of Macro PROCESS developed by Hayes for SPSS software. The results of this study showed that perceived workload has a positive effect on psychological empowerment and psychological empowerment has a positive effect on OCB. Further, results showed that psychological empowerment mediates the relationship between perceived workload and OCB.

It also attempted to measure the correlation among all variables understudy and the mediation of psychological empowerment in the association of authentic leadership of heads and teachers’ organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and withdrawal behavior. A self-developed tool was used for data collection from a sample of 360 public sector school teachers at secondary level. The data was analyzed through t test, Pearson r, multiple regression and process Macro. The findings revealed that teachers rated their heads as high on authentic leadership scale.
