Transformational Leadership and Organizational Commitment: Key Drivers of Citizenship Behavior Across Various Climates

This study examines the intricate relationships among Transformational Leadership, Organizational Climate, Organizational Commitment, and Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) within the school context in Indonesia. Utilizing a sample of 76 teachers from SMAN 1 Metro, data were collected and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) through the Smart-PLS analytical tool. The results indicate that Transformational Leadership significantly influences both Organizational Climate and Organizational Commitment directly. However, it does not exhibit a significant direct effect on OCB. Additionally, Organizational Climate neither directly impacts OCB nor mediates the relationship between Transformational Leadership and OCB. In contrast, Organizational Commitment acts as a significant indirect mediator between Transformational Leadership and OCB. The study concludes with a discussion on its limitations and implications for future research.
