Purpose: Given the lack of research on the dimensions of employees’ intrapreneurial behaviour, the current research speculates on the effect of spiritual leadership on three dimensions of employees’ intrapreneurialproactiveness, risk-taking, and innovativeness. The study also proposes psychological empowerment as a mediator of these links of spiritual leadership and the dimensions of intrapreneurship. Methodology: Survey data collected using a time-lagged strategy from 169 software developers working in Pakistan revealed that spiritual leadership positively influences all three dimensions of intrapreneurship. Likewise, psychological empowerment mediates spiritual leadership-proactiveness. Findings: Interestingly, the results revealed that psychological empowerment did not mediate the association of spiritual leadership with risk-taking and the association of spiritual leadership with innovativeness. Thus, we concluded that the dimensions of intrapreneurship can have different nomological networks of predictors and consequences. Significance: For theoretical contribution, this effect is important to study because intrinsic motivation (through psychological empowerment) can be an important predictor for intrapreneurship behaviour. Practical Implications: The study provides managers with important practical implications.
The primary objective of the study is to investigate the Muslim consumers' style inventory. An allied objective of this study is to test the reliability and validity of Consumer Style Inventory (CSI) in an economically developing country like Pakistan. For this purpose, data was collected from university graduate and undergraduate students. Factor reduction technique was used in SPSS to examine Muslim consumers' style inventory. Findings of the study indicate that Muslim consumers are partially different from their non-Muslims counterparts. The result of principal component analysis revealed that factors like "Impulsive" and "recreational" were not confirmed by the Muslim consumers. However, other factors like price conscious, quality conscious and 'confused by over choice' were confirmed. Thus, study suggests that formal consumers' education system should be enhanced and all concerned bodies like Islamic scholars, Government agencies and universities should play their role in formulating shopping orientation of Muslim consumers. Furthermore, the future direction of study provides an avenue to coming scholars on the area.
