Analyzing the Role of Workplace Vigilantism on Job Outcomes: A Study of Healthcare Professionals of Peshawar

Abstract

The overall objective of the study was to develop and test a model to find out the relationship between Workplace Vigilantism, Turnover Intention, Work Mindfulness, and Change Oriented Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB). In this connection, the research aim was to focus on health sector nurses of three hospitals of district Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the population which is equal to 1800. By using the simplified formula for proportions, Taro Yamane and the technique of Uma Sekaran (2012) were utilized to calculate the sample size as well as which is 317. However, 350 questionnaires were distributed due to a possible non-response rate. To avoid any biases, the probability-stratified sampling technique was used. Each hospital was considered as a separate stratum due to the inter-group heterogeneity and from each stratum, respondents were selected subject to their availability. Below is the brief information representing the name of hospitals and the number of nurses’ staff located in the district of Peshawar. The result of all three hypotheses indicated a statistically significant and positive association between workplace vigilantism, Turnover Intention, Work Mindfulness, and Change Oriented Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB). The study was limited to health sector nurses with only three hospitals in Peshawar. In the future, research can have a moderating effect on perceived organizational support to strengthen the vigilante to work for the ultimate benefit of the organization.
