Woinshet Mengistu Beushe, Pazstor Szabolch, Marsai Viktor, Tariku Jebena


ABSTRACT
The main objective of this study was to examine how responsible leadership in the food and beverage industry (FBI) affects organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) both directly and indirectly. The indirect relationship between responsible leadership and OCB is examined through the mediating role of employees’ perceptions of CSR. A cross-sectional design was used to collect data from 237 employees of the Ethiopian FBI. A quantitative methodology was used for the study. It was predicted that organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) positively correlates with responsible leadership. It was also predicted that the relationship between responsible leadership and OCB is positively mediated by employees’ CSR perceptions. According to the results of the study, OCB is positively predicted by responsible leadership. Most importantly, the influence of responsible leadership on OCB was found to be positively mediated by CSR perceptions. The theoretical and practical implications of the study, limitations and future research directions are also addressed.
