Abstract

The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between the social responsibility of human resources management and the organizational citizenship behavior of employees of private companies in Fars province with the moderating role of responsible leadership. The statistical population of this research is more than 100 thousand people and the statistical sample using Morgan 's table is 384 people. Information is collected by library, field and internet methods. In this research, using correlation and regression methods, with spss software and structural equations with smart-pls software, the relationships between research variables are tested. The results of the research showed that responsible leadership is one of the most emerging and compensated leadership styles to promote the credibility of an organization and maintain the sustainable development of the organization and society. Organizational citizenship behavior describes employee behavior related to environmental protection that is not controlled by any organization 's formal reward system. Basically, it is the voluntary behavior of employees that is directed towards environmental protection, and it represents an operational supplement for people 's environmental protection behavior and organizations ' green growth approaches. Responsible leadership positively and significantly affects organizational citizenship behavior. Psychological ownership plays a mediating role in the relationship between responsible leadership and organizational citizenship behavior, environmental commitment of employees plays a moderating role between responsible leadership and psychological ownership and organizational citizenship behavior. Responsible leadership creates a sense of responsibility and encourages employees to adopt environmental protection behavior.
