Research Objective

To examine the impact of authentic leadership style on turnover intention in the Islamic Banks of Karachi, and to investigate how people who adhere to Islamic faith want their leaders to behave.

Methodology

A questionnaire with nineteen items was developed, with sixteen items adapted from MLQ and three from Cumman et al. (1979). Data were collected from 234 employees of the Islamic banking sector in Karachi. Reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha, and Multiple Regression Analysis was applied for statistical analysis.

Discussion

The study suggests that authentic leadership, particularly its dimensions of internalized moral perspective, relational transparency, and balanced processing, is compatible with Islamic values and contributes to lower turnover intentions among employees in Islamic banks. The lack of significance for self-awareness is attributed to the Islamic belief that God's will is paramount over individual self.

Key Findings

Internalized moral perspective, relational transparency, and balanced processing are associated with lower turnover intentions. Self-awareness was not found to have a significant relationship with turnover intentions. Authentic leadership style is compatible with Islamic values.

Conclusion

Authentic leadership dimensions are important in reducing turnover intentions in the Islamic banking sector. Managers in this sector should focus on these dimensions and explore other human resource practices compatible with Islamic principles to retain employees.
