The intent of the study is to assess authentic leadership and organizational citizenship behavior with structural empowerment in SME sector of Pakistan. The study is deductive and obtained data from Managerial level 262 employees of SME sector via questionnaire to assess relationship. There is indirect association among teamwork environment; information sharing, emotional empowerment. The participative leadership is taking consideration. And performance functions are less focused rationally in SME sector. Pakistani SME sector workers are less motivated and less psychological developed leading to less worker engagement in promoting citizenship behavior. In SME sector of Punjab there is need to develop adaptive and supportive working environment to engage the worker via hierarchical environment by providing assistance to workers. The study is addressing rarely investigated scope of Pakistani SME sector.
