Abstract

Aversive leadership remains a relatively underexplored area in organizational behavior. This study advances the field by identifying emotional exhaustion as a key mechanism linking aversive leadership to employees’ psychological health outcomes, including psychological well-being, psychological strain, and psychological detachment. It also examines the role of Islamic work ethics (IWE) as a moderator in the relationship between aversive leadership and emotional exhaustion. Supported by conservation of resource (COR) theory, which posits that stressful workplace situations, such as aversive leadership, lead to resource depletion resulting in emotional exhaustion and poor psychological health, this study finds that individuals with strong personal resources, such as IWE, are better equipped to cope with these negative outcomes. Data were collected from 260 employees in service sector organizations of Pakistan using self-administrated questionnaires. The results supported direct and indirect effects, as well as the moderating role of IWE. This study provides valuable insights for policymakers in addressing the negative impacts of aversive leadership and offers organizations guidance on selecting and nurturing supportive and positive leaders. Such leaders can foster a healthier and more productive work environment.

伊斯兰工作伦理重要吗？从资源保护理论的角度看厌恶型领导对员工情绪和心理健康的影响

在组织行为学中，逆向领导仍是一个探索相对不足的领域。本研究通过确定情绪衰竭是将厌恶型领导与员工的心理健康结果（包括心理健康、心理压力和心理疏离）联系起来的关键机制，推进了这一领域的研究。研究还探讨了伊斯兰工作伦理（IWE）在厌恶型领导与情感衰竭之间的调节作用。资源保护（COR）理论认为，工作场所的压力情况（如厌恶性领导）会导致资源枯竭，从而造成情绪衰竭和心理健康状况不佳，本研究在此理论的支持下发现，拥有强大个人资源（如 IWE）的个体能够更好地应对这些负面结果。本研究使用自我管理的调查问卷收集了巴基斯坦服务行业组织 260 名员工的数据。研究结果支持直接和间接效应，以及 IWE 的调节作用。这项研究为政策制定者解决厌恶型领导的负面影响提供了宝贵的见解，并为组织选择和培养支持型、积极型领导提供了指导。这样的领导可以营造一个更健康、更富有成效的工作环境。
