The research study aims to explore the impact of authentic leadership on employee job performance with mediating role of organizational citizenship behavior. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is used in the study. Data is collected from faculty and non-faculty members of seven higher education institutions through simple random sampling. Organizational citizenship behavior is taken as mediating variable. The study results show that organizational citizenship behavior partially mediates the association of authentic leadership and employee job performance in higher educational institutes.
