Abstract

This study aimed at investigating the influence of paternalistic leadership on employees’ creativity in the mediation role of perceived organizational support and justice in the context of telecommunication sector of Pakistan. A structured questionnaire was employed to collect data from lower, middle and upper level employees from different organizations of telecommunication sector. The collected data was analyzed through regression analysis by employing four steps proposed by Baron and Kenny, (1986). The findings of this study revealed that paternalistic leadership has both direct as well as indirect effect on employees’ creativity in the mediation role of perceived organizational support; however, the mediation effects of perceived organizational justice is not proved. Future researchers are recommended to evaluate the impact of three dimensions of paternalistic leadership on employees’ creativity, instead of assessing combined effect.
