Leadership In NutritionalPsychology
There is consistent evidence linking leadership in organizations to the
psychological well-being of employees, including outcomes related to
both ill-health especially in nutritional interventions
There is a relationship between different dimensions of leadership
(considerate, supportive and transformational leadership) and
enhanced job well-being during nutritional interventions
However, poor leadership was found to be associated with impaired
psychological well-being in patients.
leader behaviours, specific leadership styles and the relationship
between leaders and their employees or patients were all associated
with employee stress and affective well-being.

Types of leadership
Abusive leadership
A well-developed stream of research links abusive supervision in particular
with diminished job satisfaction and increased employee distress.
Abusive leadership is defined as the employees’ perception that the leader is
engaging in a ‘‘sustained display of hostile verbal and non-verbal behaviours,
excluding physical contact’’
Abusive leadership manifests itself in the public ridiculing of subordinates,
blaming subordinates for mistakes they did not make and the use of derogatory
names and intimidation.
Abusive supervision has been empirically linked to impaired well-being
manifested
as burnout, feelings of helplessness, diminished levels of self-efficacy, self-
esteem, affective commitment to the organization, and increased employee
strain

Transformational leadership
Transformationalleadership is defined in terms of four particular types of
behaviours.
Idealized influence takes place when leaders do what is proper and ethical
rather than what is effortless, and when they are guided by their moral
commitment to their followers and go beyond the interests of the organization.
More positive forms of leadership have a beneficial effect on individual
wellbeing.
Managerial support has been linked with lower levels of perceived stress, job
strain, burnout and depression.
There is performance-related effects of transformational leadership observed in
all forms of organizations
Leaders exhibiting inspirational motivation inspire their employees to achieve
more than what was once thought possible by setting high standards and
articulating a vision of what can be achieved

#9 House’s Path-Goal Theory
According to Robert House, the most important activities of leaders are those that clarify the path
to various goals of interest to subordinates, thus effective leaders form a connection between
subordinate goals and organizational goals. Since leadership is about increasing group
performance through motivation, the leader must be more concerned with job satisfaction and the
creation of a clear picture of how subordinates can gain rewards based on performance. House’s
theory is concerned with four different kinds of leader behaviour. These include:
1. Directive behaviour: This includes scheduling work, maintaining performance standards,
and letting subordinates know what is expected from them.
2. Supportive behaviour: A leader displaying this behaviour is friendly, approachable, and
concerned with pleasant interpersonal relationships.
3. Participative behaviour: Leaders who practice this behaviour consult with their
subordinates, and consider their opinions.
4. Achievement-orientated behaviour: This behaviour encourages subordinates to exert
higher efforts and strive for a higher level of goal accomplishment. Leaders demonstrating
this behaviour express confidence that subordinates can reach these goals.
