This study evaluates the impact of transformational leadership style on the social responsibility of employees in the Vietnamese mining industry based on the transformational leadership theory. The study also examines the moderating role of intrinsic motivation in the relationship between transformational leadership style and employee social responsibility. The study employed a quantitative method using the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), the analysis results from a survey sample of 142 employees at Vietnamese mining industry enterprises reveals the positive influence of transformational leadership style on both extra-role and in-role social responsibility participation of employees in the Vietnamese mining industry. Intrinsic motivation significantly moderates the relationship between transformational leadership style and extra-role social responsibility participation of employees. However, it does not moderate the relationship with in-role social responsibility participation of employees. The authors propose some discussions and practical suggestions, aimed at improving practices, for managers in the Vietnamese mining industry.
