Abstract

The paper talks about the influence of family-to-work conflict (FWC) on respectful leadership behaviors and explores the moderating roles of religiosity and gender. Drawing on the Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, the study hypothesizes that family-to-work conflict negatively impacts a leader’s ability to exhibit respectful leadership due to the depletion of emotional resources. It also proposes that religiosity, by providing a moral framework of empathy and respect, can moderate this effect, while gender may mediate the relationship as men and women experience and respond to family-to-work conflict differently. The study utilizes data from 102 supervisory-level employees in Pakistan through convenience sampling and experimental methods. Descriptive statistics and correlations suggest a negative relationship between FWC and respectful leadership, while religiosity positively correlates with respectful leadership but does not impact family-to-work conflict. Confirmatory Factor Analysis and regression results confirm the hypotheses. The findings highlight that FWC significantly reduces respectful leadership behaviors, whereas religiosity enhances them. However, religiosity does not mitigate the effects of family- to-work conflict. In the end we discussed theoretical and practical implications of these findings, acknowledged limitations, and offered directions for future research.
