Abstract Based on the perspective of role theory, this study investigates the effect, mediation mechanism and boundary conditions of self-sacrificial leadership on employees organizational citizenship behavior. These hypotheses were tested by hierarchical regression analysis with a sample of 79 department leader and 308 members. The results indicated that self-sacrificial leadership had a positive effect on employees organizational citizenship behavior. The relationship between self-sacrificial leadership and employees organizational citizenship behavior was mediated by employees organizational citizenship behavior role conceptualization. When employees psychological entitlement were higher, the effect of self-sacrificial leadership on the employees organizational citizenship behavior and organizational citizenship behavior role conceptualization weren’t significant, meanwhile,the mediation effect of employees organizational citizenship behavior role conceptualization wasn’t also significant; on the contrary, the above effects were significant.
