Abstract :
The current study explored the effect of transformational leadership of knowledge work team leaders on team members´ individual performance, which included both in-role behavior and organizational citizenship behavior(OCB), and team performance. Survey data was collected from a sample of 54 knowledge work teams in high-tech organizations in four cities of China. The results of hierarchical regression showed that relationship-oriented transformational leadership behaviors had a significant effect on team members´ OCB with leader-member exchange(LMX) as the mediator, and task-oriented transformational leadership behaviors had a significant effect on team members´ in-role behavior. Team- level OCB mediated the relationship between transformational leadership and team performance.
