“…In this context, besides the research studies that determine the effects of courage on some organizational outcome variables in the literature (Bockorny et al , 2019; Howard et al , 2017; Howard and Holmes, 2020; Gustems and Calderon, 2014; Khoshmehr et al , 2020; Koerner, 2014; Magnano et al , 2019; Schilpzand et al , 2014), it is important that this research shows the power of courage as being a mediator variable in business life and the relationships between organizational justice and outcome variables (life satisfaction and happiness); in essence, it has contributed to this line of research. This research has extended the concept of courage in a non-western culture, which provides theoretical developments from a cultural point of view (Arun et al , 2021).…”

PurposeWorkplace social courage is a courageous behavior that can damage the actor's social relationships, social image and accrue face-loss costs. Sometimes, it is difficult to differentiate courageous behavior from incivility that predicts higher levels of psychological distress. While workplace social courage is widely discussed in the management literature, less is known about the conditions under which individuals are more or less likely to exhibit courageous behaviors. Given the theoretical considerations, in the present study, the authors consider two indicators of quality of life, which are life satisfaction and happiness, and set the aim of the study as to investigate the relationships between organizational justice and two dimensions of quality of life – life satisfaction and happiness – with particular attention to the mediation function performed by courage.Design/methodology/approachCross-sectional survey data (n = 408) were obtained from employees working in Turkey Fortune companies and analyzed with variance-based structural equation modeling (VB-SEM) technique.FindingsThe results showed that perceived organizational justice is a strong antecedent for workplace social courage. Workplace social courage emerges as a facilitator for subjective happiness and life satisfaction. Workplace social courage mediated the association between perceived organizational justice and subjective happiness, and between perceived organizational justice and life satisfaction. Prescriptions for theory development and practitioners are highlighted, research limitations and future directions are acknowledged.Originality/valueSo far, most of the work done in this subject is mainly in western countries, and it is considered as a virtue, feature, emotion and behavior in the studies of social scientists, and mainly focused on how employees need the courage to perform the desired behaviors that affect organizational outcomes positively such as organizational citizenship behavior, job performance, job satisfaction, life satisfaction, psychological well-being. Also, the authors studied how social courage positively relates to beneficial voice and silence, as well as negatively relates to detrimental voice and silence, how courage is correlated with psychological empowerment, coaching and how courage mediates on quality of life. As can be seen, there is little empirical work when it comes to the antecedents of courage in business life. Therefore, this study, which has been done with different variables in a different culture and country, aims to support and bring a new breath to the subject. Besides, the mediating effect of courage on the organizational variables is also among the trendiest subjects.

“…Leadership is considered the heart of all success withing work groups and organizations (Aldulaimi, 2021). Research has been scarce, particularly empirical ones, to evaluate the influence of certain leadership styles (Arun et al, 2021; Okun et al, 2020) such as the influence of inclusive leadership on employee work engagement. One method to examine the critical role that inclusive leadership plays in businesses and organizations is to look at its impact on key organizational outcomes like work engagement, which is heavily dependent on employees' feelings of inclusion that greatly affect their perceptions of work engagement.…”
