“…In general elections of 2013, only 45.3% of eligible voters went to polls. This is less than in India (59.4%), Bangladesh (58.2%) According to a booklet by the Election Commission of Pakistan and the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA), about 50% of Pakistanis don't want to vote (Butt & Awang, 2017).

The culture in Hofstede's work offered a lens through which to view cross-cultural disparities. The model proposes the concept of 'power distance (PD)' as means of understanding the gap between authority and power between governors/leaders and the governed/followers. 'Political apathy' (PA) and alienation are common among citizens who experience high power distance (High-PD). Citizens are more likely to get involved in politics, vote, and take action when there is less of a gap between them and those in the power. The purpose of this research was to quantify the quality of these connection from the perspective of academics at Thal University Bhakkar, Punjab Pakistan. The results of study provide significant information about the existence of the potential relationships between variables which thus help in reaching the desired conclusion. The positive and negative associations between PD and PA and PP are supported by field research. It will be crucial for stakeholders to adapt their strategies and practices in light of the recommendations made in the field study.

“…A theologian, for example, may describe religiosity based on a person's level of faith. Still, Butt and Awang (2017) emphasize that the notion of divine rewards and punishments is a common denominator in the many variations of religious definitions. As a result, by bringing up an interpretative idea, religiosity is usually connected with moral characteristics such as being trustworthy, faithful, or obedient to the law (Laborde, 2015).…”

“…According to the study, instilling religion in youngsters can assist reduce the risk of substance misuse because the two factors have a negative link. Similarly, Butt and Awang (2017) stated that religion was critical in decreasing tensions inside Pakistan during elections since individuals voted not just based on their ethnicity but also on their religious views. As a result, the research emphasises the premise that religion should be encouraged rather than discouraged in society.…”

“…According to the findings, religion in society is important in encouraging ethical behaviour because individuals perceive the presence of a higher power. The study by Butt and Awang (2017) had a significant disadvantage in that it did not investigate whether the elected leaders displayed religion and how it influenced their leadership. This vacuum will be filled in this study by examining how organisational leaders might utilise religion to foster creativity and boost productivity.…”
