| dc.description.abstract | The increasing mental health crisis has seen organisations work to help promote and foster the mental well-being of their employees. Leadership is one of the most utilised tools in this pursuit. The current study aims to explore the role of transformational and servant leadership on employee eudaimonic well-being, a relatively unexplored element of mental health. In addition it aims to explore the link between leader eudaimonic well-being and employee eudaimonic well-being. An online self-report questionnaire was distributed to 266 employees within a scientific research organisation. The results revealed that both transformational and servant leadership were significantly positively associated with employee eudaimonic well- being. However, transformational and servant leadership were highly correlated, limiting the scope of the analysis and suggesting that transformational leadership is a stronger predictor of employee eudaimonic well-being. It was further found that leader eudaimonic well-being was not significantly associated with employee eudaimonic well-being. These results have both theoretical and practical implications for understanding the most effective way to promote employee well-being. Future research should aim to expand the current analyses to determine the potential influence of organisational contextual factors, as well as further analysing the underlying mechanisms linking transformational and servant leadership to employee eudaimonic well-being. | en |
