Abstract

The accelerating need for sustainable development across the globe has put firms under great pressure to play their role in social sustainability by working on several objectives. Among them, achieving life satisfaction for their employees is at the forefront. The study aims to examine sequential mediating roles of organizational trust and proactive behavior in transformational leadership and life satisfaction relationships. It draws on social exchange theory and explores investment in relationships within the organization through mutual support and reciprocity. Data were collected through self-reported questionnaires of employees associated with different public and private sector organizations in Pakistan. The study opted for a three-wave time-lagged design. For results, Process macro by Hayes is performed on a sample of 211 employees via 2000 re-samples bias-corrected bootstrap method. The findings reveal that in the presence of a transformational style of leading, when trust is inseminated in followers, their proactivity increases, leading them towards satisfaction in life. Theoretical and practical implications are also discussed in light of the findings.

转变型领导与生活满意度：组织信任与主动行为的顺序中介模型

全球范围内对可持续发展的需求不断增加，这给企业带来了巨大压力，要求它们通过努力实现几个目标来在社会可持续性中发挥作用。其中，为员工实现生活满意度是最重要的。本研究旨在检验组织信任和主动行为在变革型领导和生活满意度关系中的顺序中介作用。它借鉴了社会交换理论，探讨了通过相互支持和互惠对组织内部关系的投资。数据是通过巴基斯坦不同公共和私营部门组织员工的自我报告问卷收集的。该研究选择了三波时间滞后设计。对于结果，Hayes的Process macro通过2000个重新采样偏差校正的bootstrap方法对211名员工进行了抽样。研究结果表明，在领导风格转变的情况下，当信任灌输给追随者时，他们的积极性就会增强，从而使他们对生活感到满意。根据研究结果还讨论了理论和实践意义。

期刊介绍： The Scandinavian Journal of Management (SJM) provides an international forum for innovative and carefully crafted research on different aspects of management. We promote dialogue and new thinking around theory and practice, based on conceptual creativity, reasoned reflexivity and contextual awareness. We have a passion for empirical inquiry. We promote constructive dialogue among researchers as well as between researchers and practitioners. We encourage new approaches to the study of management and we aim to foster new thinking around management theory and practice. We publish original empirical and theoretical material, which contributes to understanding management in private and public organizations. Full-length articles and book reviews form the core of the journal, but focused discussion-type texts (around 3.000-5.000 words), empirically or theoretically oriented, can also be considered for publication. The Scandinavian Journal of Management is open to different research approaches in terms of methodology and epistemology. We are open to different fields of management application, but narrow technical discussions relevant only to specific sub-fields will not be given priority.
