challenge stressors, hindrance stressors, transformational leadership, job satisfactionAbstract
Purpose: The object and the purpose of the study were to investigate how stressors affect unease with the occupation and unease with the occupation performance, and how transformational leadership moderates this association within the telecom sector of Pakistan.
Design/Methodology: Regression and correlation procedures have been adopted to apply a quantitative method. The sample size of 200 employees was taken in the telecom sector in Pakistan using a structured questionnaire. The research examined the moderating role of transformational leadership on the connection between the stressors and job outcomes.
Findings: It was found that challenge stressors in the workplace served as a positive determinant of job satisfaction and job performance, and hindrance stressors a negative determinant of job satisfaction, although it also did not show a significant influence on job performance. Transformational leadership greatly moderated such relationships and strengthened the positive impact of challenge stressors.
Originality: Transformational leadership is something that should be encouraged in organizations so that they can ensure that the resilience of employees to stress is improved, and also the outcome is improved as far as the job is concerned. Maximizing training programs and leadership development training or programs can aid in the maximization of the benefits of challenge stressors and inhibit the effect of the hindrance stressors.
