A Quantitative Study of the Relationship between Distributed Leadership and Organizational Citizenship Behavior: Perceptions of Turkish Primary School Teachers

“…Organizational citizenship is one of the few individual variables that influence organizational effectiveness (Bogler and Somech, 2004;Nguni et al, 2006;Oplatka, 2006;Organ, 1988;1997;Paine and Organ, 2000;Podsakoff et al, 1990;Podsakoff et al, 1996, Podsakoff et al, 2000Somech and Drach-Zahavy, 2004). The concept of OCB draws primarily upon Chester Barnard's concept of 'willingness to change' and Daniel Katz's notion of 'distinction between dependable role and performance' and 'innovative and spontaneous behaviors' (Podsakoff et al, 2000, p. 513).…”

“…In this regard, OCB is one of the constructs that has continued to interest scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers to influence school effectiveness and improvement (Feather and Rauter, 2004;Nguni et al, 2006;Oplatka, 2006;Organ, 1988Organ, , 1997Ölçüm-Çetin, 2004;Paine and Organ, 2000;Podsakoff et al, 2000;Sezgin, 2005). Teacher OCBs are crucial for schools as the construct relates to non-formally prescribed behaviors including teachers' exerting extra effort and time and taking the responsibility of school improvement individually (Hoy et al, 1991;Somech and Ron, 2007).…”

“…School principals' leadership style has been one of the organizational constructs potentially influencing teacher OCBs. Several studies have investigated OCBs in relation to such different leadership styles as transformational (Lian and Tui, 2012;López-Domínguez et al, 2013;Podsakoff et al, 1990;Podsakoff et al, 1996;Song et al, 2012), transactional (Lian and Tui, 2012;Nguni et al, 2006), servant (Bobbio et al, 2012), and charismatic leadership (Cavazotte et al, 2014). These studies typically adopted a principal-focused approach which regards leadership as an individual property instead of an organizational one (Hulpia et al, 2010).…”

Transformational leadership and teacher commitment to organizational values: The mediating effects of collective teacher efficacy

“…Previous research has found that transformational leadership has a large effect on organizational commitment (Dee, Henkin, & Singleton, 2004;Koh et al, 1995;Nguni, Sleegers, & Denessen, 2004). Transformational leadership is also a contributor to a closely related concept, organizational citizenship (Koh et al, 1995;Leithwood, Tomlinson, & Genge, 1996;Nguni et al, 2004;Podsakoff et al, 1990) that refers to an individual's willingness to go beyond the formal requirements of the job to engage in productive functions that enhance organizational effectiveness.…”

Leadership Behaviour on Job Satisfaction in Malaysian National Secondary Schools: Motivation and Hygiene Satisfaction

“…Several studies supported the effect of principal's leadership behaviours on teachers' job satisfaction (Dinham & Scott, 1998;Bogler, 2001;Griffith, 2004;Nguni et al, 2006;Cerit, 2009). Studies proved that the principal's leadership behaviour is one of the positive factors that have a direct correlation with teachers' job satisfaction (Bogler, 2001).…”
