“…Previous literature shows that ethical leadership has a positive relationship with employees’ pro-social and ethical behaviors and a negative relationship with unethical behaviors ( Brown et al, 2005 ; Lu and Lin, 2014 ; Aryati et al, 2018 ; Zhang and Tu, 2018 ; Liu and Zhao, 2019 ; Yasir and Khan, 2020 ), suggesting that ethical leadership can promote ethical and pro-environmental behaviors. However, limited literature exists on the relationship between ethical leadership and green behavior ( Saleem et al, 2020 ).…”

Organizations are increasingly adopting green human resource management policies to encourage environmentally friendly behaviors. Research shows that adopting green policies and procedures is beneficial for the hospitality industry. However, limited empirical evidence exists on the association between environmental-specific ethical leadership, psychological green climate, and employees’ green behavior. Therefore, this study intends to examine psychological green climate (PGC) as a mediator between the relationship of environmental-specific ethical leadership (ESEL) and employees’ green behavior (EGB), specifically in the hotel industry of Pakistan. Data from 224 non-managerial position employees in the understudy sector was collected using a convenient sampling technique. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was utilized to examine the direct and indirect effects among the variables using the Smart PLS 3.3.3 version. This study showed that ESEL is positively related to PGC and EGB. Moreover, PGC is positively associated with EGB, and PGC mediated in the relationship between ESEL and EGB. Thus, current research highlights the significance of environmental-specific ethical leadership behavior, which assists in establishing a green psychological climate, thereby fostering employees’ green behavior in the hotel industry of Pakistan.

“…The notion of deviance originates from previous studies on group norms (Sherif & Sherif, 1953). But, from the last two decades, the concept of deviant behaviors has attracted much more attention, than before (Bennett & Robinson, 2000;Biron, 2010;Thau & Mitchell, 2010;De Clercq, Bouckenooghe, Raja, & Matsyborska, 2014;Lian, Ferris, Morrison, & Brown, 2014;Zagenczyk, Restubog, Kiewitz, Kiazad, & Tang, 2014;Guay et al, 2016;Yasir, Jamil, Adil, Hamayun, & Irum, 2017;Yasir & Khan, 2020).…”

“…The previous literature also reports several forms of workplace deviance that exists in Pakistan's public sector organizations, such as, stealing official belongings, taking longer lunch breaks, employees' leaving office early, and frequent late arrival (Bashir, Nasir, Qayyum, & Bashir, 2012;Yasir & Khan, 2020;Shaheen, Abrar, Saleem, Shabbir, & Zulfiqar, 2021). In addition, corruption has almost become a norm in this sector.…”

Deviant workplace behaviors have become an important area of research due to the recent revelation of high-profile corporate scandals. Scholars view that deviant workplace behaviors can be controlled when the factors that affect workplace deviance are properly understood. Therefore, this study is having two sections. Section one identifies the level of workplace deviance prevailing in the public sector hospitals of Pakistan, for which data was collected from 219 respondents in the understudy sector. Findings of this study show that workplace deviance exists in the understudy sector at a moderate level. Section two describes the factors that have the ability to influence the emergence of deviant workplace behaviors. Thus, this study searched for workplace deviance related articles available at the academic research databases such as Scopus and Web of Science. The keywords that were used for searching articles were “workplace deviance”, “organizational deviance”, “deviance” and “deviant behaviors”. This study outlines twenty-five factors that affect workplace deviance, thereby highlighting how workplace deviance can be minimized. Lastly, implications and suggestions for further research and practice are highlighted.

“…Servant leadership is, therefore, proposed by the recent literature to thrive in the challenging work environment of the health-care sector. Limited literature exists regarding the association between leadership styles and deviant workplace behavior, specifically in the health-care sector of Pakistan (Yasir and Khan, 2020; Yasir and Rasli, 2018). This study addresses the literature gap, thereby investigating the link between servant leadership and deviant behavior through the mediating effect of organizational justice perceptions of the nurses working at the Pakistani hospitals.…”

Purpose Leadership literature has identified that the servant leadership style can reduce employee negative work outcomes, even in challenging work environments like the health-care sector as nurses play an important role in the performance of a hospital. That is why, the efficiency and effectiveness of the nurses are believed to be directly linked to improved health benefits to the public. So, this study aims to investigate the inter-relationship between servant leadership, organizational justice and workplace deviance of nurses in public sector hospitals. Design/methodology/approach A self-administrated questionnaire using a drop-and-collect method was used for collecting the data from nurses working in the public sector hospitals of Pakistan using a convenient sampling technique. In total, 370 questionnaires were distributed among the nursing staff, of which 201 completed and usable questionnaires were returned and used for data analysis. Further, the partial least squares structural equation modeling approach is used in this study using SmartPLS version 3 software to test the hypothesized model and determine the direct and indirect effects. Findings Results showed a negative relationship between servant leadership and workplace deviance, positive relationship between servant leadership and organizational justice, negative relationship between organizational justice and workplace deviance and that organizational justice mediates in the relationship between servant leadership and workplace deviance. Practical implications This study provides valuable recommendations and practical implications to address the nurses’ deviant workplace behaviors in the public sector hospitals of Pakistan. Originality/value This study is novel as it shows the significance of servant leadership behavior which has the ability to positively influence organizational justice perception leading to less likelihood of the emergence of nurses’ deviant workplace behavior, specifically in the context of public sector hospitals of Pakistan.
