- Abstract
Previous studies have ignored the leadership role in pharmaceutical industry and documented complex challenges in this field with respect to effective leadership. Related to the issue, destructive leadership has become an emerging area of research. The purpose of current study is to examine the impact of destructive leadership behaviors on turnover intentions and deviant behavior through the mediation of job stress of leaders in pharmaceutical companies. Data was collected from higher leadership working in pharmaceutical companies of Pakistan. The study is longitudinal in nature; therefore, data has been collected two times with four months' interval. Questionnaires were used for data collection from leaders. After 4 months, data was recollected from the same respondents. CFA (Confirmatory Factor Analysis) and SEM (Structure Equation Modeling) techniques were used for statistical analysis. Results of the study signified that destructive leadership behaviors positively and significantly affect turnover intention and deviant behavior. Results also enlightened that job stress positively and significantly mediated the relationship of destructive leadership behaviors and turnover intention and deviant behavior. Findings also enlightened that respondent's behavior towards understudy variables became stronger in time2 as compared to time1. If organizations want to retain their employees, they must understand dynamics of destructive leadership behaviors in order to avoid cost in form of turnover intentions and deviance. This study also brings fresh perspective considering its setting in pharmaceutical industry in Pakistan.
