“…This discussion aims to explore and analyze the findings regarding the role of LD on JP, focusing on the mediating role of EQ within the private health sector of Pakistan based on the available literature. Numerous studies (Asim et al, 2022;Dubey et al, 2023;Fakhri et al, 2020;Goodman, 1990;Hassan Helaly et al, 2022;Hoxha, 2019;Jiatong et al, 2022;Jnaneswar & Ranjit, 2020;Krijgsheld et al, 2022;Perez, 2021;Perloff, 1997;Thorndike, 1920;Zhao & Zhou, 2019) have established a positive relationship between LD and JP. Effective leadership is characterized by inspiring and motivating employees, setting clear goals, providing guidance and support, and encouraging employee development.…”

“…The healthcare sector of Pakistan has undergone significant growth and transformation over the last few decades. However, despite the contribution of healthcare professionals, there have been significant challenges in delivering quality healthcare to the population, such as inadequate infrastructure, insufficient resources, a shortage of trained healthcare professionals and a lack of leadership roles (Asim et al, 2022). The healthcare system in Pakistan also faces unique challenges related to employees' job performance.…”

The aim of this study is to measure the effect of leadership on job performance through the mediating role of emotional intelligence. Primary data were collected from 530 Pakistani private hospital employees. Structured questionnaire was used to collect the data. SMART PLS 4.0 software was used to draw the results from the data. Statistical techniques like, bootstrapping through process were used to explore the results and to test the hypotheses from the collected data. The results of this study revealed that leadership has a positive impact on job performance of employees in private hospitals of Pakistan. Further, bootstrapping analysis revealed that emotional intelligence mediates the positive effect of leadership on job performance in health sector. The study highlights that leadership is not only effective or applicable in western countries only, but it is also very effective in Pakistan. The most prominent limitation of this study is that the data were gathered from a single source. This may occur common method variance. Cross-sectional approach is also one of the limitations of this study. In health sector, leadership can enhance the job performance of the employees through the mediating role of emotional intelligence. Proper and meaningful training should be given to organizational leaders in hospitals with specific focus on leadership skills in improving emotional intelligence and job performance. The research studies on measuring the role of leadership on job performance through the mediating role of emotional intelligence are very limited. Little investigations are available on the leadership and its role in health sector especially in Pakistan. This study clarifies the role of leadership in enhancing job performance of the health care employees through the existence of the emotional intelligence. No study tested this model with three theories. This study makes a theoretical contribution by integrating three relevant theories; Campbell's theory of job performance, Goleman's mixed model theory, leadership theory.

“…Interpersonal helping behaviors enable coworkers to seek assistance for job-related problems, enhancing organizational success (Liu et al ., 2020; Mossholder et al ., 2011; Podsakoff et al ., 2000). While it falls under citizenship behavior, helping others in their work often requires more discretion compared to other forms of citizenship behaviors (Asim et al ., 2022; Chou and Stauffer, 2016).…”

PurposeThis study aims to explore the adverse impacts of abusive supervision on helping behaviors among employees, as mediating by intention to leave and moderating by Islamic work ethics (IWE).Design/methodology/approachA quantitative approach was employed, and the sample consisted of 283 nurses working in various public sector hospitals in Pakistan. The data analysis was conducted using SPSS and AMOS with the PROCESS macro.FindingsThe results suggest that abusive supervision diminishes helping behavior among nurses. Additionally, the study reveals that intention to leave mediates the relationship of abusive supervision and nurses' helping behavior. Moreover, the introduction of IWE as a boundary condition reveals that the mediated link is weaker when IWE is higher, and vice versa.Practical implicationsThis study provides valuable insights for hospital authorities to develop intervention strategies and policies aimed at reducing abusive supervision in hospitals. Hospital management should also be aware of the detrimental effects of abusive supervision on nurses' helping behaviors, which can be mitigated by promoting ethical values aligned with IWE.Originality/valueThis study makes a valuable contribution to the limited research on the link between abusive supervision and helping behaviors in hospital settings. It offers new perspectives by incorporating the Conservation of Resources theory, particularly within the healthcare sector. Furthermore, this research expands the current knowledge by investigating the mediating influence of intention to leave and the moderating effect of IWE in mitigating the adverse impact of abusive supervision on nurses' helping behavior in Pakistan's public sector hospitals.

“…Previous literature highlighted the importance of leadership styles on discretionary behaviors (Asim et al , 2021; Islam et al , 2021). For example, positive leadership styles like transformational leadership and appreciative leadership can enhance employees’ discretionary behaviors (Liu and DeFrank, 2013; Asim et al , 2022), but negative leadership styles negatively affect discretionary behaviors such as organizational citizenship behaviors (Zhang and Xie, 2017).…”

Purpose This study, based on the conservation of resource theory, aims to investigate the negative impacts of abusive supervision on helping behaviors among employees by examining the mediating role of rumination and the moderating role of psychological flexibility. Design/methodology/approach A total sample of 282 reliable questionnaires are collected from 282 employees working in education and banking sectors of Pakistan. SPSS and AMOS are used for data analysis of the proposed model. Findings The findings reveal that rumination mediates the relationship between abusive supervision and employees’ helping behavior. In addition, the results show that higher levels of psychological flexibility negatively moderate the relationship between abusive supervision and employees’ helping behaviors through mediation. Practical implications This study elucidates how and when abusive supervision deters helping behavior among employees and provides useful guidelines for banking/university’s administration to understand harmful consequences of abusive supervision and take appropriate policy measures to lessen their harmful effects upon employees. Originality/value By proposing a moderated mediation model, this study discovers rumination as a key mediator that links abusive supervision to employees’ helping behaviors and identifies the role of psychological flexibility in diminishing the negative impacts of abusive supervision upon employees’ helping behaviors through rumination.
