Aim: Despite the literature on nursing leadership, the research on the quality of exchange relationship between nursing leaders and nurses is in its initial stages. Also, the underlying mechanism that exists between leader-member exchange and employee outcomes warrants further inquiry. This study aimed to fill these gaps by investigating the role of leader-member exchange relationships and organizational identification in nurses' intentional violation of hospital regulations to promote their patients' welfare, also called pro-social rule-breaking. In contrast to a vast number of previous studies, we argue that pro-social rule-breaking can be positive for organizations. Therefore, nurses should be given margin and autonomy to break hospital rules when needed by establishing a high-quality exchange relationship with the supervisor.
Design: A quantitative study was conducted on nurses working in hospitals in Pakistan by utilizing a non-probability convenience sampling technique.
Method: Data from nurses and their colleagues (n = 224) were collected at three-time points between June 2019 and August 2019 through questionnaires.
Results: The results proved that nurses' possessing a high-quality exchange relationship with their supervisor feels a higher level of identification with their organization. In turn, they are more likely to engage in pro-social rule-breaking as a form of constructive deviance.

Introduction: The effect of leader pro-social rule breaking on employees is a critical albeit underexplored topic within the domain of study on the consequences of pro-social rule breaking in organizations. This study attempts to make up for the gap by exploring the relationship between leader pro-social rule breaking and employee voice. Drawing on the theory of self-verification, we theorize that leaders who perform pro-social rule breaking will seek feedback from their subordinates, while employees being sought will be triggered to voice upwardly, the extent to which intensity of voice is moderated by the moral courage of employees.
