Abstract

The purpose of this research is to identify the level of Transformational Leadership of Principal towards Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB). This research is a survey using questionnaire distributions. The questionnaire utilized in this research is divided into three parts. The first part of the questionnaire involves the questioning of the respondent demographics. The second part is the 20 items of the dimension of Organizational Citizenship Behavior based on Podsakoff (1990). While the third part of the study questions contains 20 items describing the style of Transformational Leadership based on instruments built by Bass and Avolio (1995). A total of 102 respondents have collaborated in the success of this research, and two types of statistics were used, which named descriptive statistics and inference statistics. The results of the study showed that the majority of the respondents were tending to the intellectual stimulating dimensions (mean 6.09) compared to the motivational dimensions (min 5.98), individual consideration dimensions (min 5.88) and charismatic dimensions (min 5.40). The intellectuals’ stimulation is the fourth dimension embodied in transformational leadership. The T-test was found to have no significant relationship between the organization’s citizenship behavior and the gender of the respondent. One of the objectives of the study is to investigate the relationship between Transformational Leadership and Organization Citizenship Behavior. Hence, the correlation test has been used and the findings show a significant relationship between transformational leadership and the organization’s citizenship behavior (r = 0.431). As such, the role and responsibility of the Principals also need to change from time to time and they also need to alter them based on time and situation. If a principal has effective leadership qualities, then the mission and vision of making an outstanding school can be achieved. On the other hand, if a principal lacks character in his or her leadership, then it will give an unfavorable effect on the achievement of a school.
