This research also aimed to test the mediating effect of core job characteristics toward the effects of transformational leadership on task performance and organizational citizenship behavior. The hypotheses were: (1a) Transformational leadership is positively and directly related to task performance, (1b) Transformational leadership is positively and directly related to organizational citizenship behavior; (2a) Core job characteristics mediate the effect of transformational leadership on task performance, (2b) Core job characteristics mediate the effect of transformational leadership on organizational citizenship behavior. Survey with questionnaires was held to obtain the data. 165 samples were collected from two organizations in Yogyakarta, with the overall response rate 81.85%. Respondents consist of supervisors and their immediate subordinates, from different kind of jobs, such as nursery administration, accounting, telephone operator, logistics, computer/technology, security, laboratory, etc. Unit analysis was individual.
