Popis: Small and medium enterprises have an essential role in the progress of countries. Therefore, the researchers should also focus on their organizational behavior issues or the managerial and environmental issues that affect their employees' commitment. This research aims to examine the impact of responsible leadership on the affective commitment of staff working in small and medium enterprises of Jordan; this relation was also analyzed with mediating role of employee turnover intention and moderating role of the work environment. The study's more concern was on manufacturing SMEs and, thus, data were collected from employees working in these SMEs. AMOS analyzed this gathered data, and results accepted all the hypothesis which were developed by study. The research highlighted that affective commitment depends upon responsible leadership, and this relation can be strengthened if the work environment provided to employees is better. If employees do not have the turnover intention, then they will remain committed to SMEs. Thus, this research will be a guideline for managers, owners, and supervisors working in SMEs. Moreover, the research provided insights to development authorities that work for the betterment of SMEs. In terms of limitations, this study is limited to manufacturing SMEs of Jordan. The research also focused on a broad definition of responsible leadership that can improve the affective contribution of workers in small and medium-sized businesses and reduce their turnover intentions.
