Abstract: Purpose - This study aims to examine the relationship between transformational leadership, organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB), job autonomy and supportive management with job autonomy and supportive management as mediating variables. Design/methodology/approach - Primary data was collected through a survey of employees from business organizations in India. Data from 422 valid responses were analysed using structural equation modelling. Confirmatory factor analysis was run for assessment of the measurement model. Then the mediation effects of job autonomy and supportive management were tested for the hypothesized model. Findings - Findings of the analyses indicate that transformational leadership directly and positively influences OCB, job autonomy and supportive management. Job autonomy and supportive management directly and positively influence OCB and mediate the relationship between transformational leadership and OCB partially. Originality/value - Contribution of the study comes from advancement of literature by supporting the mediating effects of job autonomy and supportive management in the relationship between transformational leadership and OCB. Thus, the study provides a basis for the mechanism of how transformational leadership is related to OCB.
