This study proposes that there is a relationship between servant leadership and
organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and that person-organization fit
and organizational identification moderate that relationship. One hundred fourteen
participants completed a cross-sectional self-report survey. Hierarchical
regression analysis revealed that servant leadership behavior partially predicts
organizational citizenship behaviors and that person-organization fit and
organizational identification partially moderate the relationship between servant
leadership and organizational citizenship behavior. One implication is that leaders
who want to encourage citizenship behaviors among employees would do well to model
those same behaviors toward others.
Leadership scholars and practitioners have emphasized the important connection between
ethics and leadership over the years. This connection is emphasized even more within
the field of servant leadership. While the servant leadership models proposed over the
past two decades have advanced our understanding of servant leadership and its application,

This cross-sectional survey study is based on the assertion that transformational leadership
is a pattern of behaviors to be used in given situations. However, the current body of
knowledge has led leaders to equate transformational leadership with other models and to
believe that becoming a transformational leader is a sequential process. This study seeks
to determine how leaders in the Killeen Independent School District (KISD) construe an ideal
transformational leader and how these leaders view themselves compared to an ideal
transformational leader...
