Transformational Leadership
There is a substantial body of research suggesting
that transformational leadership is positively associated
with employee performance, job satisfaction and organizational
commitment. Recently, researchers have added employee health
and well-being to the list of outcomes that are directly affected
by the behaviour of organizational leaders. To expand this
area of research, John Fiset, examined the impact of various
styles of leadership on employee well-being. John was also
interested in the effects that leadership has on job satisfaction,
absenteeism and turnover within the health care industry.
He expected that employees will report fewer physical and
psychological symptoms of stress, higher levels of job satisfaction,
and be less likely to express intentions of leaving an organization
when their manager displays transformational leadership behaviour.
The aim of the research was to strengthen our understanding
of the factors that contribute to developing healthy workplaces.
Dr. Jane Mullen supervised this work. |
