Abstract:

This study examines the effect of transformational leadership on organizational citizenship behavior and examines psychological empowerment as a mediator variable. The research was conducted at the Pangudi Luhur Foundation, Semarang and Surakarta, which are private education providers in Indonesia. The population in this study was 588 teachers from the Pangudi Luhur Foundation, Surakarta and Semarang. Respondents in this study amounted to 130 using proportional sampling as a sampling technique. This study uses the help of smart PLS 3.2.9 software. The findings show in hypothesis one that transformational leadership does not directly affect organizational citizenship behavior. Furthermore, the second hypothesis is that transformational leadership significantly influences psychological empowerment. The third hypothesis is that psychological empowerment significantly affects organizational citizenship behavior. lastly, the fourth hypothesis states that psychological empowerment mediates the effect of transformational leadership on organizational citizenship behavior. The mediating role of psychological empowerment is needed to provide a mechanism so that transformational leadership is able to produce positive behavior and even the extra role of the teacher. Psychological empowerment as a mechanism for transformational leaders influences the positive behavior of employees at work so as to create OCB. It is hoped that the creation of OCB will make the Pangudi Luhur Foundation more competitive than before.
