The Relationship between Leadership Style and Personality Traits and their Impact on Organizational Citizenship Behavior

This study examines the relationship between transformational and transactional leadership styles and their impact on organizational citizenship behavior OCB , with emotional demands as a moderating variable and employee engagement as a mediating variable. The study involved 433 participants, and data were analyzed using regression analysis. The findings indicate a positive association between transformational leadership and job engagement and a positive relationship between transactional leadership and job engagement. Furthermore, the results show that employee engagement fully mediates the positive relationship between transformational leadership and OCB, but the effect size is small, suggesting other factors may also play a role. The study also reveals that emotional demands moderate the relationship between transactional leadership and OCB. The study contributes to the literature on leadership and OCB, providing insights for managers and organizations on enhancing employee engagement and OCB through effective leadership styles and management of emotional demands.
