The aim of this research study is to analyze the perceived impact of Ostracism and LMX on
employee performance in Pakistani institutes.
Methodology & Design
This research is quantitative and primary data were collected using a structured questionnaire that
in period of two months was electronically distributed. A sample size of 300 was selected,
respondents responded via google forms. The exploration of the records that was gathered by
collection ofdata was done by means ofSMART PLS software to check the proposed assumptions
and the associations amongst variables.
Findings
Findings reveals that the significant relationship between LMX and employee performance. It is
stated that ostracism has a positive association with employee performance. Thus, our results
shows that when employees face ostracism in organizations, once they feel lonely and neglected
they tried best to engage their self, do work hard to prove their skills and made themselves
valuable.
Limitations
The most significant restriction is the short duration ofthe total study. It gives only a short amount
oftime to collect data; the information was largely gathered through an online survey with only
300 responses, which is insufficient to represent the entire population.
Recommendations
Collaboration can improve individual employee performance. Ostracism is less prevalent in groups
that are cohesive and well-managed; hence, preventative efforts should focus on boosting
organizational loyalty and developing social networks.
