Organizational Citizenship Behavior And Organizational Commitment: Mediating Role Of Authentic Leadership

Abstract

The main aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB), organisational commitment (OC), and authentic leadership (AL). Furthermore, the main objective of the research was also to investigate the possible mediating role of AL in the relationship between OCB and OC. The data was collected from 370 teachers working at privately-owned institutes of higher education located in the regions of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, Balochestan, and Punjab. The data analysis was conducted with the statistical software applications SPSS and Amos. The hypotheses and research model of 3-factors were assessed through the utilization of correlation and structural equation modelling methodologies. The results of the study demonstrate a statistically significant positive relationship between OCB, AL, and OC. The argument that AL serves as a partial mediator in the link between OCB and OC is supported by the empirical data acquired via the application of structural equation modelling.
