This study aims to comprehensively analyze the influence of leader mindset on ocean citizenship behavior and its implications on employee performance in the maritime sector, using the Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares approach. This approach was chosen for its ability to analyze complex structural models with latent variables and multidimensional causal relationships to explore how sustainability-oriented leadership mindsets and maritime ethics can drive pro-environmental and pro-social behaviors among employees. The results of the study showed that Leader Mindset had a positive and significant effect on OCB, Leader Mindset had a positive and significant effect on employee performance, OCB had a positive and significant effect on employee performance, and OCB was proven to mediate the relationship between Leader Mindset and employee performance. These findings confirm that visionary, innovative, and maritime ecosystem-conscious leadership encourages employee marine citizenship behaviors, which ultimately improve individual and organizational performance, so that the development of a leadership mindset and the formation of OCBs are important strategies to increase the effectiveness of maritime organizations.
