Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess the relationship between benevolent leadership and employees' organizational citizenship behavior in the context of Polish organizations. Design/methodology/approach: The data were obtained from 415 company employees. The relationship was investigated using structural equation models (SEMs). Findings: The analyses of the results showed that benevolent leadership has a positive relationship with OCB. The more benevolent the leadership, the more frequent the organizational citizenship behaviors among workers. Research limitations/implications: There are some limitations to this study. The results cannot be generalized since the sample was not selected probabilistically. It should be added that the research was conducted only in enterprises. The analyzed relationship between BL and OCB in public institutions, which are by definition established to serve the public, could also be examined. The research provided a significant contribution to the literature, particularly in the field of leadership. First, it demonstrates that benevolent leadership as a synthetic construct may be applied in a variety of cultural contexts. Secondly, the study findings support predictions derived from the social exchange theory. Benevolent leaders, and thus fair and trustworthy ones, will motivate their subordinates to emulate their positive behavior. Originality/value: The article presents a fragment of the results of research conducted for the first time in Poland on the topic of benevolent leadership.(original abstract)

Cel: ocena relacji między życzliwym przywództwem a postawami obywatelskimi pracowników w kontekście polskich organizacji. Metodologia: dane uzyskano od 415 pracowników firm. Zależności zbadano za pomocą modeli równań strukturalnych (SEM). Wyniki: analizy wyników wykazały, że życzliwe przywództwo ma pozytywny związek z OCB. Bardziej życzliwe przywództwo wywołuje większą częstotliwość zachowań obywatelskich wśród pracowników. Ograniczenia/implikacje badawcze: badanie ma pewne ograniczenia. Wyniki nie mogą być uogólniane, ponieważ próba nie została wybrana probabilistycznie. Należy dodać, że badania przeprowadzono tylko w przedsiębiorstwach. Można również zbadać analizowane relacje pomiędzy BL i OCB w instytucjach publicznych, które z definicji są powołane do służenia społeczeństwu. Badania wnoszą istotny wkład do literatury, zwłaszcza z zakresu przywództwa. Po pierwsze, pokazały, że życzliwe przywództwo jako konstrukt syntetyczny może być stosowany w różnych kontekstach kulturowych. Po drugie, wyniki badania potwierdzają przewidywania wywodzące się z teorii wymiany społecznej. Życzliwi liderzy, a tym samym uczciwi i godni zaufania liderzy, będą motywować swoich podwładnych do naśladowania pozytywnego zachowania. Oryginalność/wartość: w artykule zaprezentowano fragment wyników badań prowadzonych pierwszy raz w Polsce w temacie życzliwego przywództwa. (abstrakt oryginalny)
