Modeling the Influence of Paternalistic Leadership and Personality Characteristics on Alienation and Organizational Culture in the Aviation Industry of Pakistan: The Mediating Role of Cohesiveness

Abstract

Espousing the theoretical framework of singling theory and social exchange theory, the current study examines the less explored topic of paternalistic leadership. This study contributed by scrutinizing the relationship between paternalistic leadership, personality characteristics, alienation, and organizational climate through the mediating role of cohesiveness. A convenience sampling technique was applied for this study. Data was collected through an adopted questionnaire from 723 respondents. A variance-based structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used for testing the proposed structural model. Results revealed that paternalistic leadership and personality characteristics significantly and positively impact alienation and organizational climate. Furthermore, cohesiveness mediates the relationship between personality characteristics, paternalistic leadership, alienation, and organizational climate. Based on research findings, essential theoretical and managerial aspects with major policy-making implications are discussed in the study.

Investigating the impact of artificial intelligence on human resource functions in the health sector of China: A mediated moderation model

“…A researcher [ 92 ] in a research study concludes that multicollinearity only appears when the values of VIF are higher than 5, which is high enough. Conversely, the consequences of the present research study demonstrate the value of VIF, as verified in Table 2 , which is lower than 5 and forbids the scarcity of multicollinearity [ 88 ].…”

“…Foremost, indicator reliability is inspected for validity. Likewise, Table 2 comprehensively exhibits the reliability values of each indicator that are greater than the minimum acceptable level of 0.4 or the estimated level of 0.7 [ 88 ]. Since prehistoric times, Cronbach's alpha has been used to evaluate internal consistent reliability [ 89 ].…”

Effect of social influence, environmental awareness, and safety affordance on actual use of 5G technologies among Chinese students

“…SEM was used for data analysis due to its component-centered nature; this method assessed all variables' relationships 77 , 78 . The researcher chose PLS-SEM for this inquiry because of its widespread use and applicability; later research 10 offered evidence.…”

Impact of gamification on green consumption behavior integrating technological awareness, motivation, enjoyment and virtual CSR

“…The main aim of composite reliability is to assess each construct's reliability by measuring outer loading values in data 94 . Similarly, convergent validity is assessed using the average variance extraction (AVE) method, which measures the variance among latent constructs with a threshold value of 0.5 and excellent above 0.70 99 . In the current study, all the values of AVE are above the threshold of 0.5.…”
