“…Moreover, the literature includes significant research on the antecedents and consequences of paternalistic leadership. For instance, national and international literature covers various research carried out in several organisations on the relation of paternalistic leadership with organisational variables such as organisational citizenship (Göncü et al, 2014;Chu & Hung, 2009;Mete & Serin, 2015), organisational identification (Cheng et al, 2004;Korkmaz et al, 2018), organisational commitment (Pellegrini et al, 2010;Shi et al, 2020), organisational justice (Köksal, 2011), job satisfaction (Chamundeswari, 2013;Ekmen & Okçu, 2021;Sun & Wang, 2009), mobbing (Durmaz, 2019;Soylu, 2011), organisational creativity and organisational dissent (Ağladay & Dağlı, 2021), organisational happiness (Özgenel & Canulansı, 2021), job performance (Liang et al, 2007;Mert & Özgenel, 2020;Nigama et al, 2018), emotional labour (Zheng et al, 2020) and participation in decision making (Cansoy et al, 2020). Therefore, it appears that several variables can be associated with paternalistic leadership.…”
