Recruiting and retaining staff to work with elderly people in social care is a global issue. The quality of leadership is considered important because it influences employees' job satisfaction, job turnover and health. This paper aims to identify leadership that employees in residential elderly care facilities in Sweden consider as contributing towards a healthy work environment.
DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: The authors interviewed 14 persons employed in facilities organized in different ways. The data from these interviews was analysed using qualitative content analysis..
The results showed that the employees felt that their health partly depended on the attributes that leaders possessed, what leaders do and how leaders do it. This study confirms that leadership influences the perception of a healthy workplace. It also shows that questions about leadership are complex.
ORIGINALITY/VALUE: Research about factors that increase health risks is wide-ranging; however, research that examines factors that promote health, especially how leadership influences employees' well-being, is not as comprehensive.
在社会关怀中招募和留住与老年人一起工作的员工是一个全球性问题。领导力的质量被认为很重要，因为它会影响员工的工作满意度、离职率和健康状况。本文旨在确定瑞典养老院员工认为有助于营造健康工作环境的领导方式。
设计/方法/方法：作者采访了在以不同方式组织的设施中工作的 14 人。这些访谈的数据使用定性内容分析进行分析。
结果表明，员工认为他们的健康在一定程度上取决于领导者所具备的特质、领导者的行为以及领导者的行为方式。这项研究证实了领导力会影响对健康工作场所的感知。它还表明，关于领导力的问题很复杂。
原创性/价值：关于增加健康风险因素的研究范围很广；然而，关于促进健康的因素的研究，尤其是领导力如何影响员工的幸福感，并不那么全面。
