Abstract
Leadership without integrity, morality, honesty and credibility and its negative
consequences on individual and organizational outcomes have got little attention
in Asian context. Profuse literature addressing authentic leadership has
examined different aspects related to subordinates such as work engagement, job
satisfaction and turnover intention but no study has encompassed these concepts
in a single setting. Furthermore, empirical evidences are required to strengthen
the theories established in western context to be validated in Pakistani context.
Incorporating conservation of resource theory, social exchange theory and social
identity theory, this study aims to fill these gaps. A sample of 250 nurses was
taken from 5 hospitals situated in Karachi. Data was gathered through a
questionnaire consisting of 30 questions addressing four constructs. Findings of
this study suggest that authentic leadership significantly and negatively impacts
turnover intention with partial mediating effect of work engagement and job
satisfaction, implying that authentic leadership must be fostered to avoid loss of
potential talent in healthcare sector of Pakistan.
