Abstract

The objective of the study was to examine the effect of advisers’ salience on peace of mind via fear of negative evaluation as mediator between them. This paper expands the utilization of attachment research in organizational environments by offering attachment-based explanations for subjects that have not yet been investigated in the current body of literature. For this study, 205 bank employees from Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, Quetta, and Peshawar were randomly selected. The data collection process employed the survey method. Structural equation modelling technique was used for hypotheses testing. Results of present study suggested that adviser’s salience undermines fear of negative evaluation which consequently results in peace of mind. Advisers’ salience a crucial construct. Thus, this study recommends the further exploration of the construct with other organizational outcomes.
