Model Organizational Citizenship Behavior Dalam Memediasi Pengaruh Kepemimpinan Digital Dan Psychological Empowerment Terhadap Kinerja Pegawai

Employee performance in local government organizations needs to be supported by technology-oriented leadership and psychological empowerment that encourage contributions beyond formal job responsibilities. This study aims to analyze the effects of Digital Leadership and Psychological Empowerment on employee performance, both directly and indirectly through Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) as a mediating variable. An explanatory quantitative approach was employed at the Department of Manpower and Transmigration of Penukal Abab Lematang Ilir Regency. The sample consisted of 68 employees selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 3. The results indicate that Digital Leadership and Psychological Empowerment have positive and significant effects on both OCB and employee performance. OCB also has a positive and significant effect on employee performance and mediates the effects of both independent variables on performance. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening digital leadership, psychological empowerment, and voluntary workplace behavior as complementary strategies for improving employee performance in local government organizations. The study provides empirical insights into the behavioral mechanisms linking leadership and employee empowerment with organizational performance.
