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.
