The Effect of Employee Attributes on Attitude and Behavior in Large Organizations of Pakistan

Abstract

Employee attributes such as skills, experience, education, personality traits, and motivation significantly influence their attitudes and behaviors in the workplace. This research examines how these attributes impact organizational performance and employee engagement in large organizations across Pakistan. Using a mixed-method approach, this study collects data through structured surveys and semi-structured interviews with employees and managers from various industries, including finance, manufacturing, and telecommunications. The results highlight the correlation between employee attributes and key behavioral outcomes such as job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and workplace efficiency. The findings indicate that organizations that prioritize employee development and foster a positive work environment see a significant improvement in overall productivity and job retention. This research provides a foundation for policy recommendations that emphasize strategic human resource management practices to enhance employee engagement and reduce workplace conflicts. Organizational specialists have been concentrating on leadership styles and practices for a long time. According to researchers, a leader's performance is significantly impacted when he or she understands his or her potential and adopts a particular style. The current study aimed to support the researchers' assumption that a specific leadership style—paternalistic and servant—will have a positive effect on employees' attitudes (commitment and work satisfaction) as well as reduce negative perceptions (perceptions of organizational politics).
