| dc.description.abstract | The proposed study examines the essential significance of emotional intelligence (ei) of leaders on the organizational safety culture (sc) development, while especially focusing on the aviation industry of pakistan. Although leadership has become the most important factor in workplace safety, not much has been studied on the impact that ei has on the sc by exploring the mediating role of perceived supervisor support (pss) and total organizational rewards (tor). The present study bridges this gap by examining the role of emotionally intelligent leadership in promoting fairness, trust, and motivation as a way of building a stronger sc. The method of quantitative research was used, and the survey questionnaires were used as the sources of data collection among the personnel of the aviation industry. The results are based on the premise that the level of ei has a significant influence on sc, as the mediators are perceived supervisor support and total organization rewards. An emotionally intelligent leader also advocates justice in decision-making processes, employee-supervisor relations, and employee engagement, making the workplace satisfying and resulting in better safety arrangements that influence the whole culture of that specific organization. This study goes further to point out the crucial role of the ei of leaders in the development of an organizational culture that fosters recognition, support, and motivation of employees to adhere to safety provisions. Those companies that focus on promoting workplace safety ought to invest in interventions that center on leadership development that focuses on emotional intelligence, since it enhances employee commitment to safety procedures and reduces risky activities in the workplace. Moreover, in fostering a powerful sc, the support of supervisors in the organizations can be useful, as well as proper and fair rewards also play a potent role. This paper will contribute to the current scholarly literature related to the field of emotional intelligence and safety culture by providing empirical evidence of the connection between them and providing practical recommendations that would help to improve the safety culture. Future studies should consider these dynamics in various environments, whether it is in different industrial setups or across different cultures, in order to achieve more generalization and impact | |
