Abstract: This investigation showcased shared leadership as a precursor of taking charge through underlying mechanism of job control, building on the complexity theory. The data were analysed by employing multiple mediation analysis, using 202 valid responses faculty members working in public sector higher educational institutions through cluster sampling. Our result indicates important contributory role of job control between shared leadership and taking charge behaviours. The findings offer implications for higher educational institutions on individual, group and organisation-wide level to improve the quality of services and combat with the prevalent challenges. Theoretically this study suggests new insights into the contextual antecedents and mediating mechanisms of taking charge behaviours.
