Responsible Leadership & Employee Sustainable Performance – the Mediating Role of Ethical Climate

Abstract

Deploying the CSR doctrine as a ground for conceptual framework, this research explores the connection amongst Responsibility in Leadership (RL) and Employee Sustainable Performance (ESP). Additionally, this analysis intends to investigate the function of Ethical Climate (EC) as a prospective mediator in the association between RL and ESP. The ESP has further dimension of Employee Well-being (EWB) and Employee Performance (EP). A sample of 200 workers from Pakistan’s health care Industry had been gathered via a survey comprised of questions. Convenience Sampling Method was deployed. SMART PLS 4 was operated to assist in the Partial Least Square Structural Equation Method (PLS – SEM) examination of the data. Employee Sustainable Performance (ESP) and Responsible Leadership (RL) were indicated to be favorably linked revealed by the analysis. Furthermore, the outcomes revealed that Ethical Climate is partially associated with Employee Performance, one of the dimensions of Employee Sustainable Performance, as it mediates the connection between Responsible Leadership (RL) and Employee sustainable Performance (ESP) to some extent. The data acquisition of this analysis is restricted in terms of its generalizability as it is grounded merely on the feedback received from the workforce of Pakistan’s health care Industry via both online and offline surveys. To the researcher comprehension, in the context of Pakistan’s healthcare professionals integrating the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Theory, this analysis is one of the first attempt to offer an integrative framework which analyzes that link between Responsible leadership (RL), Ethical Climate (EC), and Employee sustainable Performance. Workers employed in Pakistan's medical industry are given particular emphasis.
