Keywords:
Transformational Leadership, Psychological Empowerment, Organizational Citizenship Behavior, Structural Equation ModelingAbstract
This study aimed to investigate the mediating effect of psychological empowerment on the causal relationship between transformational leadership and organizational citizenship behavior. A random sample of 305 officers from public and private organizations in Bangkok and the metropolitan region participated in the study. The study utilized electronic questionnaires, including personal data, transformational leadership, psychological empowerment and organizational citizenship behavior scales, as research instruments with high reliability ranging between 0.82 to 0.94. Data was analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and structural equation modeling using the Lavan package.
The results indicated that the causal model of the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational citizenship behavior fit the data well (Chi-Square=252, df=202, CFI=0.99, TLI=0.98, RMSEA=0.03, SRMR=0.04). Additionally, transformational leadership had a direct effect on psychological empowerment, which served as a mediator between transformational leadership and organizational citizenship behavior. This suggests that transformational leadership has a fully mediating effect on organizational citizenship behavior through psychological empowerment. The study's findings provide insights into the role of transformational leadership in promoting positive organizational behavior and may inform the development of effective leadership training and development programs.
