The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential mediating role of team climate between transformational leadership styles, transactional leadership styles and employee performance in the context of Indonesia's oil and gas sector. This study adopted the case study research design to investigate a phenomenon in a single large organization. The specific context of study was Chevron Indonesia, an American-based multinational corporation (MNC). The respondents of this research were individual front line leaders and members. Seven hypotheses were formulated. Generally, the results were found to support the hypotheses. The team climate was seen to mediate between leadership and employee performance. The findings of this study imply that the managers of the oil and gas organisations in Indonesia (and other similar contexts) need to pay greater attention to the work team climate factor as it can be used to motivate and nurture their employees in achieving organisational goals. Managers can create a positive work team climate by developing individual leaders' capacities to lead the team members in their respective work units or departments.
