Transformational leadership has been introduced in two sub-dimensions in the exploratory factor analysis, In the following analyzes, the two sub-dimensions labeled as "charismatic motivation" and "improving interest" and transformational leadership itself were taken as independent variables. Analyses have revealed that there was a positive and significant relationship between TL along with its sub-dimentions and organizational trust and OCB. Analyzes have also revealed that organizational trust plays a partially mediator role between transformational leadership along with its sub-dimensions and OCB.
