摘要：Amongst many possible influential factors, leadership has been identified as an influential driver of employee wellbeing and innovative behavior. Many companies have replaced their traditional hierarchical management structures with empowered work teams to improve their efficiency and productivity. The relationship-oriented society in the well-known culture of collectivism in a country like Malaysia, where devotion, trust and a feeling of belonging is highly valued. Paternalistic leadership can be characterized as a caring leadership that consolidates resilient power of leaders with concern and kindness. Paternalistic leadership has offered a comprehensive understanding of leadership outside the western world. Despite the fact that the exploration of paternalistic leadership has thrived lately, the dissemination and character of paternalistic leadership has not been straightforwardly thought across eastern Asian nations. A quantitative approach with cross-sectional design as a survey method has been employed in this study and purposive sampling was used as the sampling technique. A total of 209 questionnaires were processed in this study. Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to validate the research model and to test the hypotheses. Leadership styles have positive impact on employee wellbeing. Thus, this study has developed a new understanding of the impact of a leader’s behavior based on paternalistic leadership styles on employee wellbeing among air traffic controllers (ATCs).
