Path analysis was applied via Smart-PLS to test the impact of managerial activism on these dimensions. Results showed a significant positive correlation, managerial activism shapes employee behavior and encourages both protective actions and empathy-driven contributions.

It also suggests future research to explore mediating variables like psychological safety and managerial integrity, and practical strategies to enhance organizational resilience.
