“…In conclusion to above discussion, it can be documented that OC needs to be addressed to increase performance, retention of employees and sustainability of organisation. Though, cynicism has become the subject of various disciplines in social sciences; for example, management, religion, philosophy, political science, sociology and psychology (Ivancevich and Matteson, 2002; Helm et al , 2015; Rose et al , 2017; Nicholson et al , 2014) and researchers have investigated various dimensions of OC and, in the organisational context; different models have been developed for studying OC (Rose et al , 2017; Mantler et al , 2015; Yildiz and Şaylikay, 2014; Cartwright and Holmes, 2006; Stanley et al , 2005; Cole et al , 2006) in developed countries; however, few studies have been conducted to investigate the impact of OC on EE and performance in developing countries (Leung et al , 2010; Hussami, 2008; Mousa, 2017a, b) especially in Pakistan (Bashir, 2011; Aamir and Sohail, 2006; Aslam et al , 2015; Hussami, 2008). The current study fills this gap in the existing literature by investigating the effect of OC on employees’ performance and also examines the moderating effect of EE on the relationship between OC and employee performance (EP) among employees of teaching hospitals of Pakistan.…”
