Abstract Details

2023, Master of Science (M.S.), Xavier University, Psychology.
This study examined the relationship between different leadership styles (humble leadership and transactional leadership) and how they influenced the relationship between OCBs and organizational commitment. A total of 121 participants participated in this vignette-based study and were recruited from Prolific.com. The results showed a positive correlation between organizational commitment and OCBs, with leadership style acting as a moderator of the relationship. Specifically, the presence of a humble leader strengthened the connection between organizational commitment and OCBs, compared to the presence of a transactional leader, emphasizing the role of humility in effective leadership. However, the current study did not find evidence of leadership style influencing employee intention to engage in OCBs. Further research is needed on humble leadership and how it impacts employee behaviors.
