Transformational leadership and organizational citizenship behavior: Modeling emotional intelligence as mediator

“…In addition, the relationship between emotional intelligence and OCB was found positive. Consequently, our outcomes go along with the assumption of quite a few researchers regarding the influence of the leadership style on OCB (Bass, 1985;Burns, 1978;Cavazotte et al, 2012;Irshad and Hashmi, 2014;Ahmed, 2012) and the mediating effect between these two variables through emotional intelligence.
