Moral Leadership is one of the most important leadership styles among Chinese enterprises, which are also the one of the leadership styles of the paternalistic leadership. Nowadays most Chinese are expecting the higher leaders who have highly standard moral across societies and organizations. It's based on the founders of enterprises to show their moral in Chinese capital socialism. Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) means a behavior of individuals without payment and it doesn't have any system with formal remuneration, but promoting the behaviors of operation in organizations. Job satisfaction is the subordinate's psychological and physiological satisfaction with the working environment and job responsibilities. Therefore, this study believed that job satisfaction should be mediating the effect of virtues between leadership and OCB. Using the ROC army aviation as samples and by collecting 321 subordinate data, the results of data analysis indicated that: (1) Moral leadership had a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction and OCB; (2) Job Satisfaction had a positive and significant effect on OCB; and (3) Moral leadership had a positive, indirect, and significant effect on OCB through job satisfaction. Thus, job satisfaction mediated between moral leadership and OCB.
