Existing literature indicates that transformational leadership, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and organizational citizenship behavior are very important for effective organizational functioning. Previous research on citizenship behaviors made limited contribution to the literature, since it mainly did not consider the relationships between transformational leadership and organizational citizenship behaviors together with the influences of job satisfaction and organizational commitment. This study tried to test a new model of the relationships among transformational leadership, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and organizational citizenship behaviors. The main purpose of the study was to investigate the influences of transformational leadership on organizational citizenship behaviors. The second purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating effect of job satisfaction and organizational commitment on the relationship transformational leadership and organizational citizenship behaviors. A survey was conducted in a public bank with 148 participants. The employees rated the items that measured transformational leadership, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment, and organizational citizenship behavior. After the outlier analyses, 137 cases were left for further study. Hierarchical regression analyses were performed on the data to test the relations of the variables. In line with the expectations, transformational leadership, job satisfaction and organizational commitment predicted organizational citizenship behaviors. Moreover, affective commitment and normative commitment partially mediated the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational citizenship behavior. Contrary to the expectations, job satisfaction did not mediate the relation between transformational leadership and organizational citizenship behavior.
