This study examined the relationship between followers' perceptions of their leaders' Authentic Leadership Style (Self Awareness, Relational Transparency, Internal Moral Perspective and Balanced Processing), and followers' Organizational Citizenship Behavior (Organizational and Participant Levels) in research administration. The sample consisted of followers (N = 212) from the membership of the National Council of Research and University Administrators. Followers' perception of leaders' leadership style was measured using the "Authentic Leadership Questionnaire Rater Form, Version 1 Rater," created by Avolio, Gardner, and Walumbwa (2007) to measure the leadership characteristics of the Authentic Leadership Model. Followers' organizational citizenship behavior was measured using the "Organizational Citizenship Behavior Checklist (OCB-C)," a 20 item scale created by Fox, Spector, Goh, Bruusema and Kessler (2102). The OCB is an instrument designed to assess the frequency of organizational citizenship engaged in by employees, measuring followers' organizational citizenship behavior at the participant and organizational levels. Results from multiple regressions indicated that tenure at research universities among research administrators is a significant predictor of followers' organizational citizenship behavior at the participant level. Results are discussed and recommendations for future research are offered.
