Exegesis
The purpose clause hina meta charas touto poiōsin kai mē stenazontes {ἵνα μετὰ χαρᾶς τοῦτο ποιῶσιν καὶ μὴ στενάζοντες | hína metà charâs toûto poiôsin kaí mḕ stenázontes} expresses the desired outcome that leaders carry out their duty ‘with joy’ rather than ‘with groaning’.
In context — Hebrews 13:17
Obey your leaders and yield to them, for they themselves keep watch over your souls as those who will render an account , so that they may do this with joy and not with groaning; for this would be unprofitable for you.
