Cultural intelligence act as a mediator between transformational leadership and job performance in this study. Health care centers located in Islamabad and Rawalpindi are included in this study. Total sample of 530 responses was included in the final measurement. Convenience sampling technique was used. SmartPls 4.0 was used to measure the results. Structural; equation modeling was used to measure the path analysis. The results confirm that transformational leadership has a significant and positive impact on job performance. The mediating role of cultural intelligence is fully supported.

Moderating Role of Self-Efficacy 2024-10-15T12:59:53+03:00 Hamid Reza Shams Pour Shams Pour shamspour@outlook.com Sofiane Laradi s.laradi@univ.blida2.dz Maryam Dolat Abadi maryamdolatabadi54@gmail.com Bahman Narouei sd97naroeibahman@iaubir.ac.ir Okocha Belemenanyafriday okochaanthony123@gmail.com <p>Ethical leadership is increasingly essential for cultivating a vibrant workplace and strengthening employee-organization relationships. Using the framework of social exchange theory, this research delves into how ethical leadership directly affects employee engagement and indirectly influences it through work meaningfulness and person-organization fit. <br />Additionally, it examines how self-efficacy shapes the connection between employee engagement and person-organization fit. The study used a cross-sectional analysis with Structural Equation Modeling following data gathered from 279 employees across two Iranian factories. The findings highlight that employee engagement is influenced by ethical <br />leadership, work meaningfulness, and person-organization fit. Moreover, work meaningfulness and person-organization fit mediate the positive impact of ethical leadership on employee engagement. Additionally, self efficacy moderates the relationship between person-organization fit and employee engagement. The findings provide new perspectives for <br />business organizations by articulating a novel mechanism in ethical leadership literature to boost employee engagement.</p> 2024-10-15T00:00:00+03:00 Copyright (c) 2024 International Journal of Business and Management Sciences https://ijbms.org/index.php/ijbms/article/view/658 Charting The Course of Investing Decisions Through Management Accounting Techniques, and Operations Quality in Manufacturing Landscape of Pakistan 2024-10-15T10:35:11+03:00 Muhammad Adnan Afzal adnanafzal@gcuf.edu.pk Sadia Munir sadiamunir@gcwuf.edu.pk Nasir Abbas nasirabbas@gcuf.edu.pk Muhammad Nadeem greenwaves20@gmail.com <p>Companies can reduce operational costs and improve their reputation by ensuring consistent product quality allowing for more accurate cost analysis and better-informed investment decisions. Therefore, this research aims to probe the interplay between management accounting techniques (MATs) and investing decisions through moderation of operations quality control (OQC) in manufacturing firms of an emerging economy, Pakistan. The results indicate that MATs like just in time (JST), target costing (TRC), and balanced scorecard (BSR) have empirically positive and significant impacts on investing decisions (IDN). On the other hand, operations quality control (OQC) plays moderating role in the linkage between TRC and investing decisions (IDN), highlighting its critical role in cost management and efficacy improvement. The OQC was insignificantly moderated among just in time, balanced scorecards, and investing decisions. These findings contribute to the understanding of factors influencing investment decisions and emphasize the synergy between OQC and explicit management accounting approaches in the Pakistani manufacturing landscape. This study explores the categories of MATs and the production quality control driving these techniques which have rarely been probed in an emerging economy like Pakistan.</p> 2024-10-21T00:00:00+03:00 Copyright (c) 2024 International Journal of Business and Management Sciences
