Exploring impact of Transformational Leadership, Engagement, and Commitment on Organizational Citizenship Behavior: Evidence from Indonesian Labor Unions

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of Transformational Leadership (TL) on Organizational Commitment (OC), Organizational Engagement (OE), and Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) in Indonesian labor unions. The study uses a quantitative approach, with a sample of 126 Indonesian labor union members. Data examined using structural equation modeling (SMART-PLS) According to the results, TL increases OC and OE among workers of labor unions but has no direct influence on OCB. OC neither acts as a mediator between TL and OCB nor has any significant impact on OCB. OE, however, emphasizes the need of involvement in fostering citizenship behaviors inside the organizational environment since it serves as a vital mediator in the connection between TL and OCB. The results suggest that labor union leaders should concentrate on strategies to increase organizational participation since this is essential for the development of OCB. While trying to improve voluntary, citizenship-like behavior among members, leaders should also take into account company culture and peer influence in view of the different impact of TL. In the framework of labor unions, this study clarifies the complex interactions among leadership, dedication, involvement, and citizenship behavior. It highlights TL's indirect influence on OCB by OE and offers understanding of collective organization leadership strategies.
