Design/methodology/approach – In this study, organizational citizenship as a dependent variable, leadership styles as an independent variable, and knowledge sharing as a mediating variable are discussed. The research is a relational screening model. The population is academics working at foundation and state universities in Istanbul, and the sample is 755 academics who voluntarily participated in the research. The scales used are organizational citizenship behavior, leadership styles, and knowledge sharing scales, in a five-point likert structure, for which Turkish validity and reliability studies were conducted. In the first stage, factors were successfully reduced as a result of Explanatory Factor Analysis (EFA). The other stage, by using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) for construct validity, the Structural Equation Model (SEM) was estimated in order to determine the relationships for the model determined in the last stage by showing goodness of fit results.
