Abstract

Turbulent times have led organizations into an uncertain and chaotic state of affairs that requires immediate fixing and calls for appropriate leadership to steer out of the crisis. In this regard, we drew from psychosocial safety climate theory to examine the impact of adaptive leadership on safety citizenship behaviors by analyzing the moderating role of psychosocial safety climate and mediating effect of readiness to change, specifically in Pakistani work culture. Hence, we collected data from 397 employees working in Pakistan's manufacturing industry at two different times. We conducted a regression analysis and used PROCESS-macro to test our moderated mediation model. The findings of our study supported the model. The moderated path analysis indicated that psychosocial safety climate strengthens adaptive leadership's direct effect on readiness to change and its indirect effect on safety citizenships behaviors. To conclude, our research offers extensive implications for organizations and practitioners in sound and disruptive conditions Keywords: Adaptive leadership, Safety citizenship behaviors, psychosocial safety Climate; Readiness to Change
