The Intermediary Role of Work Engagement in The Effect of Paternalist Leadership on Positive Voice Behavior

Abstract

The aim of this study is to reveal the effect of paternalistic leadership on positive voice and the mediating role of work commitment in this effect. The research data were collected by electronic questionnaire method and the questionnaire was applied to 402 healthcare workers who agreed to participate in the study. IBM SPSS 25 program and Process Macro v3.4 version developed by Hayes (2018) were used for the analysis of the data. Bootstrap regression analysis was conducted to test the mediating effect of work commitment on the effect of paternalist leadership on positive voice. As a result of the analysis, it was found that paternalist leadership and work commitment had a significant and positive indirect effect of 19.19% on positive vocal behavior (b = 0.1919, 95% CI [0.1344, 0.2565]). As a result of the research, it was found that as the paternalistic leadership behavior of health managers increased, the positive voice-making behavior of healthcare professionals increased, and this increase was mediated by work commitment.
