Organizational Citizenship Behavior in the Context of Leadership Style: A Case of Public Sector Organizations in Balochistan

Abstract

Leadership always remains a debatable topic among researchers for decades. Leadership plays a vital role in the development of any organization. Employees of the organization are affected by several factors, but leadership is the most prominent among them. This study examines the impact of transformational and transactional leadership on follower citizenship behaviour in the public sector organization of Balochistan. Furthermore, this study also explores how this leadership behaviour is transformed into the followers. A purposive sampling technique was used to collect data from the 460 public sector employees across the Balochistan province. Data were analyzed via SmartPLS. Results show that both transformational and transactional leadership styles are effective in the context of public sector organizations in Balochistan. The result also says that this leadership style will first engage the followers and satisfy them with their job. When the first condition is achieved with time, this satisfaction and engagement will bring citizenship behaviour to the followers.
