Two studies investigated the relationship between transformational leadership, the meaning that individuals ascribe to their work, and their psychological well-being. In Study 1, the perceptions of meaningful work partially mediated the relationship between transformational leadership and positive affective well-being in a sample of Canadian health care workers (N=319). In Study 2, the meaning that a separate sample of service workers (N=146) ascribed to their work fully mediated the relationship between transformational leadership and psychological well-being, after controlling for humanistic work beliefs. Overall, these results support and add to the range of positive mental health effects associated with transformational leadership and are suggestive of interventions that organizations can make to improve well-being of workers.
两项研究调查了变革型领导、个体赋予其工作的意义以及他们的心理健康之间的关系。在研究1中，在加拿大医护人员样本（N = 319）中，有意义工作的认知部分中介了变革型领导与积极情感幸福感之间的关系。在研究2中，在控制了人文主义工作信念后，服务人员的另一个样本（N = 146）赋予其工作的意义完全中介了变革型领导与心理健康之间的关系。总体而言，这些结果支持并扩展了与变革型领导相关的一系列积极心理健康效应，并暗示了组织可以采取的改善员工幸福感的干预措施。
