Abstract
This study investigated the role of organizational commitment (OC) as a mediator to explore the impact of transformational leadership (TL) to organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). The study used a sample of 220 department deans from 11 technology universities and 24 technology institutions in Taiwan. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the relationship between the variables and to assess the fit of the overall model. The results indicated that TL directly and positively influenced both affective commitment and normative commitment while it directly and negatively influenced continuance commitment. TL also directly and positively influenced OCB. Furthermore, both affective commitment and continuance commitment mediated the influences of TL on OCB. On the other hand, normative commitment didn’t mediate the influence of TL on OCB. Implications, limitations and future research were discussed.
