Leadership stains affect the follower’s performances regarding innovative work behavior, and a gap is found in leadership research in higher education, specifically in Pakistan. The basic purpose of this research is to point out the effect of leadership styles on innovative work behavior under the mediating and moderating roles of organizational culture and organizational citizenship behavior among the Head of the Departments (HODs) in higher education institutions (HEIs). A survey method has been carried out to collect data from 160 respondents to, further, verify how leadership styles of academic leaders affect employees’ performances in universities. The statistical study exposes a substantial positive effect of leadership styles on innovative work behaviors of employees highlighting mediating and moderating effects of organizational culture and OCB on such a relationship. This study carries various implications for prior research in both theoretical and practical fields, and its scope may also be enlarged, geographically or institutionally, to another context. This research uncovers the relationship of leadership styles and innovative work behavior in academic research, which has been ignored before in higher education of Pakistan.


The purpose of this paper is to study the mediating role of emotional intelligence on the relationship between ambidextrous leadership and innovative work behavior. A total of 130 participants from IT industry of Pakistan filled out the questionnaire. Results revealed that emotional intelligence mediated the relationship between ambidextrous leadership and IWB. The research established that ambidextrous leadership positively influences IWB which includes idea generation as well as idea implementation. Suggestions for future research and practical implications are derived from the results, such as that opening and closing leadership behaviors should be trained to foster IWB.
