“…Accordingly, Khan, Malik, and Saleem (2020) and Khan, Jaafar, et al (2020) have linked psychological empowerment and project success. We further point out that TL has been shown to be an antecedent to PE by Schermuly et al (2022) and Joo and Lim (2013). In our research, we expand on these conclusions by looking more closely at the factors involved in a study of public sector projects.…”

Through the lens of social cognitive theory (SCT), we formulated hypotheses and tested the mediating role of psychological empowerment (PE) in linking transformational leadership (TL) to project success (PS). A structured questionnaire was used to gather responses from 356 team members, project managers, and stakeholders. Our findings demonstrated that PE and TL had a substantial influence on PS. Furthermore, we determined that PE partially mediates the relationship between TL and PS. This study sought to give insights into this relationship and identified PE as a precondition for TL effectiveness. These findings have implications for theorists and practitioners because they assert that the association between TL and PS may be explained by psychological empowerment as the underlying mechanism. By demonstrating how leaders inspire their followers to become leaders themselves, we elucidate how these findings add to the literature on leadership. We also go into further detail about the use of leadership training.

Research in psychology and organizational behavior has made substantial progress in understanding what affects employee health and well-being. In this review article, we describe how characteristics of individual workplaces (job resources, job stressors), interpersonal and teamwork factors, leadership, and specific employee behaviors contribute to health and well-being. We summarize findings from intervention research and discuss how health and well-being, in turn, predict perceived work characteristics and behavior at work. We highlight emerging topics in the field (job-related health and well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic, technology-enabled connectivity to work, microinterventions, dynamism in health and well-being). We include a cross-cultural and international perspective and address issues related to diversity and inclusion in organizations. We provide suggestions on how research can proceed in the future and point to practical implications that can improve employee health and well-being.

“…However, psychological empowerment refers to nurses’ abilities to engage and feel congruence between their personal values and those of the organization ( Laschinger, Finegan, Shamian, & Wilk, 2001 ). Additionally, when nurses perceive that their work environment is providing them with opportunities to advance their career, they feel structurally and psychologically empowered ( Schermuly, et al 2022 ).…”
