Impact of Transformational Leadership on Employee Performance and Organizational Citizen Behavior

    It has been agreed upon by the researchers that leadership style in an organization causes the quality of employee performance. Moreover, organizational citizenship behavior is also determined by the style of leadership in an organization. The question is what type of leadership style is determining these behaviors. In this study, the impact of transformational leadership on employee's task performance and citizenship behavior is studied. Transformational leadership was found to have a significant positive impact on employees OCB and performance further; it was also found out that OCB moderates the relationship of transformational leadership with employee's performance. It is concluded that there may be some incongruent behaviors or perceptions among the leader and his subordinates.
