The relationships among servant leadership, organizational citizenship behavior, person-organization fit and organizational identification in fars quality cooperation

Abstract

This study proposes that there is a relationship between servant leadership and Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) and that person-organization fit and organizational identification moderate that relationship. Eighty participants completed a cross-sectional self-report survey. Hierarchical regression analysis revealed that servant leadership behavior partially predicts organizational citizenship behaviors and that person-organization fit and organizational identification partially moderate the relationship between servant leadership and organizational citizenship behavior. One implication is that leaders who want to encourage citizenship behaviors among employees would do well to model those same behaviors toward others. © 2013 Maxwell Scientific Organization.
