Abstract

This study examined a mediated model of leader-member exchange (LMX) on meaningful work, organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and turnover intention. First, we investigated the relationships between both leader-member exchange and turnover intention/ OCB. Second, we also investigated the mediating role of meaningful work on these relationships. For the aim of this study, we made a survey that included 440 participants from a manufacturing firm. The results partially supported the given hypotheses that there are positive relationships between both LMX and meaninful work, and LMX and OCB. We also found that meaningful work partially mediates the relationship between LMX and OCB.
