Purpose: The overall objective of the study was to investigate the relationship between paternalistic leadership, Trust, employee creativity, and organizational citizenship behavior. Based on the review, the present study examines and tries to fill the gaps that have yet to be tended to in previous literature. This research is comparatively and possibly a novel thought from a Pakistani perspective and especially in Government and Semi Government related organizations since it expects to develop and test an integrative model. Design/Methodology/Approach: The unit of analysis for the study is individuals employed in the selected organizations of Pakistan. The sample size of the study was determined at 188 and the total response rate of the data collection is 85%. A sample size of 188 was faced as a restraint. The sampling technique is convenience based and data collection is cross-sectional. The study has its originality as an integrative model formulated with the combination of these variables that have not been tested earlier specifically in government and semi-government related organizations i.e. OGDCL & PTCL. Findings: Results of the study indicate that paternalistic leadership is having a significant relationship with both the dependent variables i.e. Employee Creativity and Organization Citizenship Behavior. The employee reported that such leadership traits allow them to come up with creative performance and with citizenship behavior. Moreover, trust is also mediating the proposed relationship between paternalistic leadership, employee creativity, and organizational citizenship behavior. The sample size was faced as a limitation. Practical Implications: However, the organizations should encourage leaders to ensure the formulation and implementation of the employee concerning policies and procedures which will resultantly assist in exhibiting citizenship behavior. The study has significance for policymakers, managers, supervisors, and employees at all levels.
