    Open AccessMuhammad Waheed Akhtar, Qingyu Zhang et al.ARTICLEBusiness Strategy and the…2026

    This study examines the impact of responsible leadership (RL) on employee outcomes, specifically customer stewardship behavior (CSB) and service sabotage, within the hospitality sector.

We used Dynamic Panel Generalized Method of Movements (DPGMM) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to generate the factors for the individual attribute to capture the accuracy of the results. Ownership concentration and board structure have a significant negative while audit quality has no association with the stock…
