Responding to followers' warning signals
Since the rise of working from home, communication between leaders and their followers has become more digital. When communicating through digital media, there is a risk that information and nonverbal signals may not be transmitted adequately. This can be particularly challenging for health‐oriented leaders in terms of their StaffCare, which encompasses both the awareness of followers' health needs and concrete behaviors to promote their well‐bei…
Who has the most to lose? How ICT demands undermine health‐oriented leadership
Research shows positive effects of Health‐oriented Leadership (HoL) on followers' health. However, irritation elicited by ICT hassles may reduce leaders' capacity to engage in staff care. This study examines whether ICT hassles are associated with staff care (i.e., health‐promoting follower‐directed leadership) via irritation and whether particularly those engaging in self‐care suffer more or less from ICT demands. A moderated mediation model was…
The shadows of digitisation
Research shows positive effects of health-oriented leadership (HoL) on employees. However, the increasing spread of working from home may challenge leadership effectiveness. This study examines whether ICT hassles weaken the positive relationships between HoL and follower outcomes. Effectiveness of HoL was tested as perceived by employees while working from home for 1) employee exhaustion with an experimental vignette study (N = 138), and 2) empl…
Thriving from work questionnaire
The current study demonstrated that the German language version of the questionnaire is both a reliable and valid measure of employee well-being. We discuss recommendations for further adaptation and future research
What difference does it make? A laboratory experiment on the effectiveness of health-oriented leadership working on-site compared to the digital working context
Findings show that the effectiveness of staff care might differ between working on-site and working digital. In order to maintain the effectiveness of staff care, leaders and employees should keep regular face-to-face contact also when mainly working from home. The study ties in with research on digital leadership and leadership effectiveness, and contributes to the deeper understanding of situational contingencies of health-specific leadership d…
Should I Stay or Should I Go (to the Office)?—Effects of Working from Home, Autonomy, and Core Self–Evaluations on Leader Health and Work–Life Balance
Leaders represent a high-demand group in organizations. The effects of leaders' personal and workplace resources on their health and work-life balance have often slipped under the radar, as most studies are directed outwardly and focus on follower outcomes. With this study, we closed a gap in the research and investigated the positive effects of remote work, autonomy, and leaders' core-self evaluations (CSE) on two important leader outcomes: heal…
Does Self-Care Make You a Better Leader? A Multisource Study Linking Leader Self-Care to Health-Oriented Leadership, Employee Self-Care, and Health
Leadership plays an important role in employee well-being. In light of a growing research interest in leaders' resources as determinants of healthy leadership, it is not yet clear how leaders' behavior regarding their own health (self-care) may trickle down to employees. Drawing on Conservation of Resources Theory and the model of Health-Oriented Leadership, this study tests two mechanisms through which employees may benefit from self-caring lead…
Should I Further Engage in Staff Care?”
Leaders play a crucial role in employees' health and job satisfaction. When employees show early warning signs that their physical or mental health is at risk, leaders' responsibility gains even more importance. Recent health-specific leadership approaches (health-oriented leadership; HoL) emphasize the importance of leaders ability to perceive employees' warning signals ( staff care awareness ) to take appropriate action ( staff care behavior ).…
United We Are Strong
This study examines how military leaders can contribute to building a sense of community among navy crews and how this, in turn, may affect unit potency as an important prerequisite of unit performance. Given the crew’s structural and functional differentiation into various subunits and nested groups, the idea of there being multiple senses of community operating dynamically onboard will be addressed. A survey of 272 members of two German Navy fr…
How does transformational leadership impact employees’ psychological strain
Although transformational leadership has received much empirical attention over the last few years, there is little research linking it to health. Previous studies have predominantly used overall measures of transformational leadership, and have neglected to specify effects of the sub dimensions. Therefore, in this study, the relationships between transformational leadership and perceived strain were examined on the level of dimensions with two i…
The Impact of Individual Collectivism on Commitment and Its Influence on Organizational Citizenship Behaviour and Turnover in Three Countries
Increasing globalization and rising markets in Eastern Europe and Asia have led to a growing interest in issues of cross cultural management. In western culture, high correlations have been found between leadership, commitment, turnover and performance. In this study we examined the influence of cultural differences on employees' commitment and its impact on relevant outcomes at the individual and the country level. Collectivism was directly meas…
Is Similarity in Leadership Related to Organizational Outcomes? The Case of Transformational Leadership
In this study, 213 supervisors from two public administration offices rated their own leadership behavior as well as their leaders' behavior on the MLQ. The relationship between own self-rated transformational leadership and perceived transformational leadership of the direct superior was examined. Furthermore, the relationship between perceived similarity between subordinate and supervisor in transformational leadership and leadership specific o…
