Abstrakt: The aim of this paper is to examine the linkage between servant leadership and project citizenship behaviour through the mediating role of project psychological ownership. Results of a field survey of 338 randomly selected project employees who worked at a hydroelectric power project in Ethiopia show that servant leadership has a significant positive effect on project citizenship behaviour. The study also finds that psychological ownership plays a mediating role in the relationship between servant leadership and project citizenship behaviour. These findings add insights to the existing project management literature by showing how citizenship in (mega) projects can be promoted. The paper discusses the theoretical and practical implications of these findings.
