Abstract

Continuous organizational changes in today’s dynamic and changing environment requires the presence of insightful, strategic, or in more clear terms, transformational leaders. Given increasing attention paid to the function of leadership in creating organizational changes in the world and its role in developing organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). The present study attempted to explore the mutual relationship between transformational leadership and OCB with a focus on mediatory role of two variables of emotional trust and cognitive trust. This study is an applied research in terms of objectives it follows and a descriptive-survey research with regard the research methodology. The population under study included staff working in different branches of Mehr Eghtesad Bank in Shiraz. The sample size includes 150 respondents which were determined using Cochrane Formula. The data were collected through four questionnaires: Transformational Leadership Questionnaire, OCB Inventory, emotional Trust Questionnaire, and Cognitive Trust Questionnaire. Data were analyzed by LISREL Software. Findings show that there is no significant relationship between transformational leadership style and OCB among the respondents. However, adding emotional trust and cognitive trust to the model show that there is a positive relationship between transformational leadership style and these two variables. In addition, a positive significant correlation was also found between emotional and cognitive trust and OCB
