Abstract
Purpose
This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.
Design/methodology/approach
This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.
Findings
This study using respondent data from Pakistan sets out to demystify the relationship between role stress, transformational leadership, job burnout, and organizational commitment. The results include that more role stress caused lower organizational commitment and vice versa. And, interestingly, the presence of a transformational leader in a person's work life is at least a partial antidote to stress-induced burnout occurring. The findings support advice that managers can help avoid an escalation to their people burning out by proactively identifying and resolving unclear role boundaries, overbearing workloads, and conflict among colleagues. Poor, harmful leadership should also be addressed properly and early.
Originality/value
The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
