Leadership, Job Well-Being, and Health Effects—A Systematic Review and a Meta-Analysis

Abstract

There is a relative lack of well-founded prospective studies targeting the association between leadership and employee health, but the few available good studies suggest an important role of leadership on employee job satisfaction, job well-being, sickness absences, and disability pensions. The relationship between leadership and job performance remains unclear.

Supervisor and Organizational Factors Associated with Supervisor Support of Job Accommodations for Low Back Injured Workers

“…For each instrument, a total score was generated for each participant who provided at least one response. To address incomplete responses and to ensure comparability among supervisors, the scores for PAIRS and the LBDQ, which are usually summed [33,39], were converted to percentage scores. We used a single JAS variable as the mean JAS scores for the case vignettes were very similar, with no statistically significant differences among them.…”

“…Effective supervisor leadership is associated with fewer long-term sickness absence days [39,44], job well-being and disability pension [39]. However, it is unknown how supervisor leadership influences workplace accommodation.…”

“…Consideration refers to the degree to which the leader shows trust, respect, appreciation, and concern for the welfare of group members [38]. Considerate leadership can result in relational justice when supervisors treat subordinates truthfully and with consideration [39]. Considerate leadership is usually measured with the LDBQ [39].…”

“…Considerate leadership can result in relational justice when supervisors treat subordinates truthfully and with consideration [39]. Considerate leadership is usually measured with the LDBQ [39]. The LBDQ is a 40-item questionnaire that results in a range of scores from 0 to 60 on each dimension.…”

Leader Group Prototypicality and Employee Well-Being: The Mediate Effect of Group Commitment and the Moderate Effect of Openness

“…Employee well-being refers to the employee and has positive state of mind in their work, so we hypothesize that the leader group prototypicality has a positive impact on the well-being of employees. There are empirical studies that have shown that team with a high prototypicality of leader may have a higher positive emotions (Kuoppala et al, 2008;Skakon et al, 2010). Olkkonen (2005) proves that with the higher leader group prototypicality, staff is more intense to fairness, and intends to perform higher self-evaluation and pride.…”
