Purpose
- The purpose of this research
is to demonstrate the influence of leadership style on organizational
citizenship behavior, as employees show individualistic or collectivistic
characteristics.
Methodology - 174
white-collar employees (105 males and 69 females) located in Istanbul (N=89)
and Denizli (N=85) formed the sample of this study. A multidimensional
questionnaire with six-point interval scale was applied to measure all
substantive variables used in this study.
Findings- This research revealed that OCB
level in Denizli is significantly higher than the level of OCB level İn
İstanbul as expected. There is also relationship between some of the leadership
styles and OCB. Although both individualism and collectivism have a positive
and meaningful correlation with OCB, the correlation between collectivism and
OCB is stronger in relation to individualism and OCB.
Conclusion-The relationship between leadership
style and OCB is moderated by individualism in different ways according to the
city. Culture is very important and influential in organizations. It can
completely affect the concepts and value perceptions of people, and as a result
the leadership styles expected by the employees.
