“…Most surprising was the positive, enabling effect of the dimension 'empowering' on both observer-report and self-report indices. This contradicts not only our expectations but also Fatima et al (2013)'s findings. In their study in Pakistan, they found that a leader's empowering attitude reduced followers' deviant behaviour.…”

“…Moreover, we conjecture that the mechanisms and dynamics described above to account for the effect of generic servant leadership on employee deviance, also suggest a similar negative, protective effect of its dimensions separately. In fact, earlier research indeed suggests such an effect on various types of employee deviance for two of the seven dimensions of servant leadership: the 'empowering' dimension (Fatima et al, 2013) and 'ethical leadership', which closely resembles the 'behaving ethically' dimension (e.g. Avey et al, 2011;Mayer et al, 2012;Neves and Story, 2015).…”

Purpose Leadership is considered to be a crucial situational factor in predicting and explaining employee deviance. The purpose of this paper therefore is to investigate the relationship between servant leadership on the one hand and employee deviance on the other. While previous studies on the impact of servant leadership on employee deviance typically aggregated all its dimensions into a single scale, this study also explores the impact of the various dimensions of servant leadership separately. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected via an online survey in two ministries of the Belgian Federal Government (n=3,445). The analyses were conducted using confirmatory factor analysis and multiple linear and negative binomial regression analysis. Findings The empirical results suggest that the generic servant leadership scale has the expected negative, protective effect on both self-reported and observer-reported employee deviance. As for the dimensions, the authors found that only the “putting subordinates first” dimension had a significant negative, protective effect on both self-reported and observer-reported employee deviance. The dimensions “behaving ethically” and “emotional healing” negatively impacted only observer-reported employee deviance and the dimension “creating value for society” negatively impacted only self-reported employee deviance. Surprisingly, the dimension “empowering” had a significant positive, strengthening effect on both self-reported and observer-reported employee deviance. Originality/value While most research assesses servant leadership’s impact on desirable behaviour, this study is about its impact on employee deviance. Also unlike most previous research, this study looks not only at the overall effect of servant leadership, but also at the impact of the various dimensions of servant leadership separately.

“…The results of this study reveal a negative relationship between psychological empowerment and CPWB. Our findings are similar to the previous literature (Fatima, Iqbal & Imran, 2013). Similarly, Luth (2012) predicted that psychological empowerment would be positively related to CPWB.…”

This article intends to examine the role of psychological empowerment and spiritual leadership towards alleviating counter productive work behaviours (CPWB). The modern organizations do not rely on sole leadership any more, but the spiritual leadership. The present study focuses on two constructs falling under the rubric of soul leadership, i.e., employee empowerment and spiritual leadership in order to alleviate counterproductive work behaviour. In line with the environment of call centres, these two constructs based on Conservation of Resources Theory are considered sufficient to address the issue in question. Data were collected from a convenient sample of call agents working in call centres located in twin cities of Pakistan i.e., Rawalpindi and Islamabad. A total of 350 respondents were sent questionnaire where usable questionnaires were 302. Structural equation modelling technique was used to test the hypotheses. Results revealed negative and significant relationship between spiritual leadership, psychological empowerment and CPWB. Finally the implications and suggestions for future research are provided.

“…Güçlendirmenin amacı, bireylerin çalıştıkları ortamlarda ortaya çıkan sorunların üstesinden gelmek için gerekli bilgi, becerilere ve inanca sahip olmalarıdır. Bunun sağlanabilmesi için çalışanların işlerinde özerkliklerinin artırılması (Fatima, Iqbal ve Imran, 2013), onlara yetki ve sorumluluk verilmesi, bilgi ve gücün onlarla paylaşılması (Hales ve Klidas, 1998) gerekmektedir. Bu anlamda güçlendirme, yetki devri kavramını çağrıştırmaktadır.…”
