Given the rising workloads and increased risks of burnout across various industries, enhancing employee resilience and well-being has become increasingly important. This study investigates the impact of positive leadership styles-servant, authentic, and transformational leadership-on psychological resilience and burnout levels. While prior research has examined the isolated relationships between leadership, resilience, and burnout, few studies have analyzed these variables collectively within an integrated theoretical framework. To address this gap, the present study integrates insights from the Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) theory, the Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, and the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model to provide a comprehensive perspective. Data were collected from 387 private school teachers in Turkiye. Statistical analyses were conducted using PROCESS Macro (Model 4), assessing both direct and mediating effects. The findings reveal that all three leadership styles enhance psychological resilience and mitigate burnout. Furthermore, psychological resilience partially mediates the relationship between positive leadership styles and burnout. These results contribute to the literature by demonstrating how positive leadership can buffer against burnout through resilience, emphasizing the need for context-specific research in the field. This study also offers practical implications for managers seeking to foster supportive work environments.
鉴于各行各业工作量不断增加以及倦怠风险上升，增强员工的适应力和幸福感变得愈发重要。本研究调查了积极领导风格——仆人式领导、真诚领导和变革型领导——对心理适应力和倦怠水平的影响。虽然先前的研究考察了领导、适应力和倦怠之间的孤立关系，但很少有研究在一个综合理论框架内对这些变量进行综合分析。为了填补这一空白，本研究整合了领导成员交换（LMX）理论、资源保存（COR）理论和工作要求-资源（JD-R）模型的见解，以提供一个全面的视角。数据收集自土耳其的387名私立学校教师。使用PROCESS宏（模型4）进行统计分析，评估直接效应和中介效应。研究结果表明，这三种领导风格都能增强心理适应力并减轻倦怠。此外，心理适应力在积极领导风格和倦怠之间的关系中起部分中介作用。这些结果通过证明积极领导如何通过适应力缓冲倦怠，为该文献做出了贡献，强调了该领域针对具体情境研究的必要性。本研究还为寻求营造支持性工作环境的管理者提供了实际启示。
