Role of Passion in Organizational Cynicism: A Mediating Effect of Sustainable Leader in the Process Model

Abstract

With the increasing economic turbulence all over the world, it is apparently becoming diffi cult on the part of the corporate to remain as a high-performing organization and intensify the engagement of the employees by keeping enormous pressure to hold down costs as long as market does not show the sign of recovery. Even though the attempt is made to increase one's engagement, one's psychological well-being is always ignored. Moreover, the engagement has always been discussed in the literature of burnout as reported in the past study. It is in this context we would like to view from the lens of work passion as it is considered to be self-generated motivation associated with work-related activity involving less pressure on reward system.

The process model involves the moderating role of sustainable leadership which facilitates the occurrence of psychological well-being. Consequently, the ramifi cation is quite evident in the form of reduced organizational cynicism.
