Woinshet Mengistu, Pazstor Szabolch, Marsai Viktor, Tariku Jebena: Responsible Leadership
and Organizational Citizenship Behavior: The Mediation Role of Employees CSR Perception

Independent Variable: Responsible Leadership
We adopted (Zhao & Zhou, 2019) with 16 items scale sample items include
“My manager communicates with various parties like customers, staff, labor groups,
suppliers, ...”, “My manager shows an understanding ofthe important claims from st
akeholders”, “My manager thinks about the results of decision for the implicated
stalkers’’, ‘’my manager include the impacted stakeholders in decision processes’’,
‘’my manager evaluates different stakeholders claims before choosing a path’’, and
‘”works to reach an agreement among the impacted stakeholders”. The reliability of
these questions was 0.890 in this research.

Mediator: Employees Perception of CSR
Employees perception of CSR is measured by using (Sarfraz et al., 2018)12-item
scale. Example items include “Our corporate has a procedure in place to reply to every
customer grievance”, “The managers of this organization try to obey with the law and
regulations”, “Our business has a comprehensive code of behaviour”, and “Our
business encourages employees to connect civic organizations that support our
community”. The reliability of these ten items was 0.842 in this study.

Control variables
Demographic factors (gender, age, education, and organizational tenure) are
controlled for in this study. Gender is measured using dummy variables: 1 for males
and 2 for females. The following age ranges are used to measure age: 18–24, 25–34,
35–44, 45–54, 55–64, and over 65. Less than one year, one to five years, six to ten
years, eleven to fifteen years, sixteen to twenty years, and more than twenty years are
the five categories used to quantify organizational tenure. Five categories are also used
to quantify educational attainment: high school, associate's degree, bachelor's degree,
master's degree, and doctoral degree.

Data Analysis
The data was analyzed using structural equation modelling, or CB-SEM, in the IBM
SPSS AMOS (23) software. The model was fitted and the validity and reliability of
the data were evaluated using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) (See Annex 1).
Employee views of CSR acted as a mediating factor in the path analysis that used the
Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimation approach to assess the impact of responsible
leadership on OCB. When testing a suggested factor structure, the most popular
statistical method is CFA (Alshihabat & Atan, 2020; De Roeck & Farooq, 2018;
Newman et al., 2014). This tactic was put forth and employed in accordance with
earlier writers (Gao & He, 2017; Ong et al., 2018; Wang et al., 2019). Therefore, a
number of metrics, including the Chi-square and Root Mean Square, were used to
assess the model's fitness.
