Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) is crucial in enhancing corporate success. This research employs a quantitative methodology inside an exploratory framework. The study population comprised 92 employees of the Tourism Services Company in Malang. The employed sample technique is saturation sampling. The data collection approach employs a questionnaire. The data analysis process employs SmartPLS 4.0 software, integrating external model assessment, internal model evaluation, and hypothesis testing. The study's results indicated a significant and positive connection between personality and organizational citizenship behavior, evidenced by a T-table value of 1.96 and a P-value of 0.000 below 0.05. The moderation test results demonstrate that transformational leadership adversely moderates the link between personality and OCB, indicated by a statistical value of -0.219, less than the T-table value of 1.96, and a P-value of 0.827, exceeding 0.05.
