The pandemic COVID has engulfed the entire world in general and India in particular.

This has necessitated the nurses to go an extra mile reflecting a sense of responsibility towards patients, colleagues, hospitals, society, and nation and discharge their duties performing activities beyond the formal job descriptions, formal reward system, or direct and explicit recognition. In the present study, the researchers have empirically investigated the nature, extent, and mechanism of the impact of variables transformational leadership, job satisfaction, and emotional intelligence that lead to nurses displaying the organizational citizenship behaviour at this unprecedented juncture of time in India.
