We tested the effect of leader-follower matches of 182 supervisor and subordinate dyads on organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) in a Chinese context, based on situational leadership theory (SLT). Our aim was to expand the understanding of SLT application in an emerging market in a culture different from Western countries. Results indicated that situational leadership and employee readiness matches had a positive effect on OCB. However, 1 match in which the leader had a coaching role and the employee required detailed directions, was a partial match and was not significantly related to OCB. Theoretical and practical applications are discussed.
