Drawing on the conservation of resources theory and contingency theories of leadership, this study aims to investigate how sustainable leadership (SL) influences employees' wellbeing (WB) through employee resilience (ER) and to examine the moderating effect of environmental turbulence (ET) on the "sustainable leadership-employees' wellbeing" relationship. Data were collected from 593 employees and 373 supervisors adopting two-wave design among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in China. The authors used structural equation modeling to empirically test the hypothesized model in this study. The research shows that SL is significantly related to the employees' WB in SMEs. Regarding mediating effect, SL also indirectly influences employees' WB through ER. Moreover, the impact of SL on employees' WB becomes more prominent in the presence of lower ET. To the best of the authors' knowledge, no prior study is available about the integrated relationship of SL, ER, ET, and employee WB.
本研究借鉴资源守恒理论和领导权变理论，旨在探究可持续领导力（SL）如何通过员工心理韧性（ER）影响员工福祉（WB），并检验环境动荡性（ET）对“可持续领导力-员工福祉”关系的调节作用。研究采用两阶段设计，在中国的中小企业中收集了593名员工和373名主管的数据。作者运用结构方程模型对本研究中假设的模型进行了实证检验。研究表明，在中小企业中，可持续领导力与员工福祉显著相关。关于中介效应，可持续领导力还通过员工心理韧性间接影响员工福祉。此外，在环境动荡性较低的情况下，可持续领导力对员工福祉的影响更为显著。据作者所知，之前尚无关于可持续领导力、员工心理韧性、环境动荡性和员工福祉之间综合关系的研究。
