Abstract:

The goal of this study is to analyze the relationship ethical leadership and employee organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) mediated by employee engagement and meaningfulness of work at PT. Bank X Surabaya. Grounded in social exchange theory, this quantitative research involved a sample of 162 employees from PT. Bank X Surabaya. Data collection via online questionnaires and analyzed via Partial Least Square (PLS). Empirical findings state that ethical leadership has an insignificant positive impact on employee OCB, but has a significant impact on the escalation of employee engagement and meaningfulness of work. Employee engagement and work meaningfulness have a significant positive impact on employee OCB. Both variables mediate the relationship between ethical leadership and employee OCB. Practical implications show creating ethical leadership is critical to encouraging employee OCB. However, the study is limited by its focus solely on bank employees, potentially restricting the generalizability of the findings.
