Abstract

In this research, we sought to determine the role of benevolent leadership in behavioral behavior: the mediating role of job dedication. In order to achieve this, the benevolent dimension (Ethical Sensitivity, Positive Engagement, Spiritual Depth, Community Responsiveness) was adopted, versus the one-dimensional behavior. And the extent of compatibility with these compatibility through job dedication in its dimensions (Conscientiousness, General expectation of task success, Goal Orientation). The artwork was selected by workers in Al-Kafeel Specialist Hospital in the field for research through a questionnaire (128) individuals. A slight difference (person) was used, and the (R) test to identify the correlation between the variables, and the (F) test for the significance of the regression model, and (R2) was used, the ratio of the relative amount that contributes to the independent variable in explaining the variable in relation to a percentage. I reached a result that there is a significant effect of benevolent leadership on my behavior through the mediating role of job dedication in Al-Kafeel Specialist Hospital. The search for a strong testament to good leadership in order to manage the hospital may still be evident, and plays an important role in leading in general to act in particular.
