psychological well-being of employees, including outcomes related to
both ill-health especially in nutritional interventions

(considerate, supportive and transformational leadership) and
enhanced job well-being during nutritional interventions

psychological well-being in patients.

between leaders and their employees or patients were all associated
with employee stress and affective well-being.

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
 Transformational leadership 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

more than what was once thought possible by setting high standards and
articulating a vision of what can be achieved

Editor's Notes

  • #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.
