Exploring the Nexus of Transformational Leadership, Individual and Organizational Factors in Mitigating Counterproductive Workplace Behavior
Abstract
This research aims to study the influence of individual and organizational factors on counterproductive workplace behavior (CWB) while exploring the moderating impact of transformational leadership (TL) on the relationship between these factors. The research surveyed 350 employees from 23 public sector organizations in Pakistan. The quantitative data was analyzed using various statistical tools as SPSS and Smart PLS. The findings indicate a significant connection among individual and organizational factors and CWB. However, the moderating effect of TL in the association between organizational injustice and CWB was not supported. Furthermore, it sheds light on the vital role of transformational leadership as a moderator, suggesting promising avenues for future research.
Key words: Counterproductive Workplace Behavior, Abusive Supervision, Organizational Injustice, Transformational leadership, Public Organizations.
