Abstract
Lack of ethics, values, morality and integrity of leadership has always been an issue for
corporate world. Keeping in view the disastrous effects of lack of leadership character; this
study aims to determine the impact of authentic leadership on job satisfaction of healthcare
staff with the mediating effect of affective organizational commitment. This is a cross-sectional
hypothesis testing research based on primary data collected from 332 respondents from five
healhcare institutions based in Karachi. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), reliability
analysis and regression analysis were performed to measure the initial validity of constrsuct
and to test proposed hypotheses. The results supported the proposed hypotheses suggesting
that there is a significant impact of authentic leadership on job satisfaction with complete
mediation of affective organizational commitment. Implying that a committed, satisfied and
engaged employee is an asset for any organizations; it will be a loss for any organization to
loose such an employee. Senior management of healthcare organizations should aim to focus
on training of leaders and managers so they can equip themselves with the skills and traits of
authentic leadership; this will not only help organizations to retain quality human resource
but will also help to enhance the positive work environment.
