Several studies have examined the impact of leadership on employee well-being and health. However, this research has focused on a variable-centred approach. By contrast, the present study adopts a person-centred approach.
To (a) identify latent 'resources' profiles among two samples combining vigour at work, work engagement and physical activity levels; (b) examine the link between the identified profiles and indicators of psychological/physical health; and (c) test whether different levels of transformational leadership determine the probability of belonging to a particular profile.
Two samples of workers, S1 and S2 ( = 354; = 158), completed a cross-sectional survey before their annual medical examination.
For S1, the results of latent profile analysis yielded three profiles: spiritless, spirited and high-spirited. Both high-spirited and spirited profiles showed a positive relationship with mental health, whereas spiritless showed a negative relationship. For S2, two profiles (spirited and spiritless) were replicated, with similar effects on mental health, but none of them was related to total cholesterol. In both samples, transformational leadership determined the probability of belonging to a particular profile.
Transformational leadership increased the probability of belonging to a more positive profile and, therefore, to better workers' health.
多项研究探讨了领导力对员工幸福感和健康的影响。然而，这些研究聚焦于以变量为中心的方法。相比之下，本研究采用以人 为中心的方法。
(a) 在两个样本中确定潜在的 “资源” 概况，样本结合了工作活力、工作投入和身体活动水平；(b) 研究确定的概况与心理 / 身体健康指标之间的联系；(c) 测试不同水平的变革型领导力是否决定属于特定概况的概率。
两个工人样本，S1 和 S2（n1 = 354；n2 = 158），在年度体检前完成了一项横断面调查。
对于 S1，潜在概况分析的结果产生了三种概况：无精打采型、精力充沛型和精神饱满型。精神饱满型和精力充沛型概况均与心理健康呈正相关，而无精打采型呈负相关。对于 S2，复制了两种概况（精力充沛型和无精打采型），对心理健康有类似影响，但均与总胆固醇无关。在两个样本中，变革型领导力决定了属于特定概况的概率。
变革型领导力增加了属于更积极概况的概率，因此也增加了员工拥有更好健康状况的概率。
