Abstract
Benevolent leadership has emerged as a contemporary leadership style that has scantly
been studied. To address this gap in literature, current research pursues a threefold
objective. First, it validates the measurement scale of benevolent leadership in the context
of Pakistan. Second, it tests the effect of benevolent leadership on employees’
organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). Third, it studies the role of perceived
organizational support (POS) and perceived organizational politics (POP) as potential
moderators. Data was collected from a representative sample of 202 information
technology companies operating in Pakistan through structured questionnaires.
Confirmatory factor analysis via AMOS was conducted to validate the measurement
scale. Model fit indices, AVE and Fornell & Larcker criteria provided the evidence of its
validity, while reliability was ensured through Cronbach’s alpha and composite reliability
measures. The analysis through linear regression and PROCESS MACRO revealed that
benevolent leadership enhances employees’ OCB. Furthermore, POP and POS moderate
the relationship between benevolent leadership and employees’ OCB
