| Sumario: | The purpose of the study is to examine the effect of perceived supervisor support on the relationship between ethical leadership and employee engagement through organisational commitment in eastern culture. The study uses survey data from 389 employees of information technology sector in Pakistan. To study the relationship between the variables, linear regression, and Preacher & Hayes () PROCESS techniques are used. The results of the study show that ethical leadership relates to employee engagement and organisational commitment. Organisational commitment mediates the relationship between ethical leadership and employee engagement. Perceived supervisor support moderates the relationship such that when perceived supervisor support is high, the effect of ethical leadership on employee engagement through organisational commitment is stronger. The results show that the positive perception of the supervisor complements the effect of ethical leadership on employee engagement through organisational commitment. Ethical leadership contributes towards the development and sustenance of organisational commitment and engagement among the employees. Drawing on social exchange theory, this study contributes to the organisational behaviour literature by studying the complementing effect of perceived supervisor support on the relationship between ethical leadership and employee engagement. An area that needs due attention. |
