Abstract Details

2023, Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Ohio University, Industrial/Organizational Psychology (Arts and Sciences).
Leaders have been identified as having an important role in the employee well-being process, as a result, “healthy leadership” has emerged as a research domain that includes several constructs based on the concept of leaders protecting and promoting the well-being of their followers (Caplan, 1987, Rudolph et al., 2020). Within this domain, there are conceptual and empirical challenges that obscure the distinction between healthy leadership and other leadership domains. The present study developed a comprehensive definition of healthy leadership, as well as created and validated a measure of healthy leadership. This study also examined the utility of healthy leadership beyond other leadership domains. Data were collected from full-time employees (n = 635). The incremental validity results indicate that the newly developed measure of healthy leadership explained a limited amount of additional variance for some well-being outcomes beyond other leadership domains. Further examinations are needed to identify if healthy leadership is a unique form of leadership. The theoretical and practical implications for this study, as well as future directions, are discussed.
