A descriptive survey research strategy was adopted over a sample of 240 respondents selected conveniently from eight universities of Pakistan. Multifactor Leadership Scale developed by the Williams and Anderson (1991) was used for data collection. Turnover Intention Scale developed by Roodt (2004) was used to determine employee turnover intention. Descriptive statistics along with ANOVA were used to analyze the data. The research indicated that transformational and transactional style of leadership have a positive relationship with organizational citizenship behavior whereas, laissez faire style has a negative relation with organizational citizenship behavior and positively related with employee turnover intention. Transformational and transactional style of leadership had an insignificant relation with employee turnover intention.
