| Summary | The paper uses hierarchical linear models (HLM) to analyze context effects and cross-level interactions of transformational leadership (TL) and the organizational climate (OCL) of ship stevedore operator. The relationships between employee’s perceived TL, OC, and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) are also discussed. 701 first-level employees from 22 ship stevedore operator were interviewed in this study. Regression analysis, HLM and SEM were used to analyze and verify those hypotheses. At the individual level, the results show that TL positively influences the employee’s OC, while OC has a significant positive effect on the employee’s OCB. Furthermore, OC is found to have a mediating effect on the relationship between employee’s perceived TL and OCB. In addition, at the group level, the OCL possesses a contextual effect on OC, as well as on OCB. The aggregate TL has a cross-level interaction on the relationship between employee’s perceived OC and OCB. Our results have proven the argument presented that the outcome variables of the individual level will be also influenced by group level variables under the framework of a multilevel organization, and offered several suggestions and directions for studies to the ship stevedore operators and the academic industry. |
