The research applies a quantitative approach using a questionnaire technique, data management applies structural equation modeling (SEM) techniques. Sampling using a simple random technique of employees who occupy managerial positions of 400 people to be analyzed. The results explain a significant relationship between effective leadership on job satisfaction and OCB, then, job satisfaction explains a positive correlation relationship with OCB. The moderating and mediating effect of effective leadership has a positive and significant association with job satisfaction and OCB. Private manufacturing companies in Indonesia are economically disadvantaged by non-natural disaster conditions which make it difficult to control conditions.
