Abstract
This study employs meta-analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM) to investigate the relationship between transformational leadership, teachers' job satisfaction, and organizational citizenship behavior. The results showed that transformational leadership significantly enhanced teachers' job satisfaction and organizational citizenship behavior. Specifically, the effect size of transformational leadership on teachers' job satisfaction was 0.651, and on organizational citizenship behavior was 0.454. Moreover, teachers' job satisfaction positively influenced organizational citizenship behavior, with an effect size of 0.534. Path analysis further revealed that teachers' job satisfaction played a significant mediating role between transformational leadership and organizational citizenship behavior, with an indirect effect of 0.365 and a total effect of 0.498. These findings indicated that transformational leadership not only directly enhances teachers' positive behaviors but also promoted their organizational citizenship behavior by improving their job satisfaction. This study offered important empirical support and theoretical insights for leadership practices in educational management.
