Abstract The study collected data from 433 employees of non-state-owned enterprises by questionnaires, and analyzed the different relationships between union transformational leadership, union citizenship behavior, union practice and Chinese traditionalism by multivariable linear regression method. The findings showed that union transformational leadership has a significant positive effect on union citizenship behavior; participation, education and construction practice of Chinese trade unions play a partly mediating role between union transformational leadership and union citizenship behavior, but the effect of safeguard practice is not significant; Chinese traditionality significantly moderates the relationship between union transformational leadership and union citizenship behavior: for low-traditional employees, relationship between transformational leadership and union citizenship behavior is significant, while for high-traditional employees, the relationship is not significant.
