The need of authentic leadership has been recognized to promote positive organizational behaviors in teaching institutions. Moreover, previous research has emphasized the role of organizational citizenship behaviors in facilitating employee retention by increasing their commitment towards organizations. This study explored the role of authentic leadership in promoting organizational citizenship behaviors of teachers from public sector universities of Pakistan. The population of this study comprised permanent faculty members of public sector universities of Pakistan and a sample of 450 teachers were selected. A quantitative research strategy was employed. The cross-sectional time period has been used for the data collection through the survey questionnaire during the pandemic situation. Findings revealed a strong positive association between authentic leadership and organizational citizenship behaviors of teachers. Moreover, the findings support the research findings in other cultural contexts. It revealed that public sector teachers need authentic leadership to motivate teachers to display organizational citizenship behaviors which in turn spread positivity throughout the organization. Because when authentic leaders in teaching organizations play their positive role then teachers tend to reciprocate with beneficial behaviors within the organizations.  \nKeywords: Authentic Leadership, Organizational Citizenship Behavior, Public Sector Universities, Social Exchange Theory.  \n*Assistant Professor IBIT, University of [the Punjab Lahore.

Leadership is a vital part of behavioral science that emphasizes on the actions of the leader. Leaders markedly inspire individual of the organization to follow a pattern of behaviors to maintain a healthy culture regardless of diverse circumstances. Authentic leadership is described as an important organizational resource for its ability to elicit supportive behaviors of employees towards the organizations (Anwar et al., 2019) .  \nThe focus on authentic leadership has increased due to scandals in the corporate sector (Walumbwa et al., 2011) . The reason behind these scandals are the rude behavior of the management and other social challenges which are unstoppable in the routine life. Therefore, the need of positive leadership is urgent in the organizations for the betterment of the employees and organizational climate. Leaders are the role models of the employees and they expect them to be fair in all organizational matters; transparent in the dealings and trustworthy for them.  \nAvolio and Luthans (2003) defined authentic leadership as a procedure that is developed for organizational welfare and attains positive psychological capacities, that increases self-regulation and self-awareness in the leader and the employee which is necessary for the betterment of the organization.  \nOrgan et al. (2005) described organizational citizenship behaviors (OCB) as employee’s extra role behaviors where employees go beyond their prescribed roles and duties to make it more successful without any monetary compensation; these are the voluntary actions of the employees to facilitate smooth functioning of the organizations. Employees’OCB reflect their satisfaction with jobs and consequently they contribute in the wellbeing of the organization. Previous research has emphasized on the role of organizational citizenship behaviors in facilitating employee retention by increasing commitment towards organizations (Dierdo","cbCaibe59DgQvmq6","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibe59DgQvmq6","pdf",414703,16,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Authentic leadership and leadership role\n## Organizational citizenship behavior (OCB)\n# Problem Statement","[{\"question\":\"What is the main focus of the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study examines the key effect of authentic leadership on organizational citizenship behaviors of university teachers in Pakistan’s context.\"},{\"question\":\"Who participated and how was data collected?\",\"answer\":\"Permanent faculty members from public sector universities were targeted, and a sample of 450 teachers completed a survey questionnaire.
