In the literature, it has been described that affective commitment and transformational leadership are directly related to occupational happiness. In this sense, the present study begins with the premise that subjective happiness may enhance the effectiveness of transformational leadership. For this purpose, the Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) and the Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS) were applied to a non-probabilistic sample of 215 business administration students in Colombian universities. Bivariate correlation analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modeling were used to examine the relationship between the dimensions of happiness and the five leadership practices. The findings indicate that three happiness items correlate positively with transformational leadership practices, suggesting that happier individuals exhibit more effective leadership behaviors. The proposed theoretical model showed a good fit with the empirical data. In conclusion, promoting happiness in leaders not only improves their performance but also positively impacts organizational productivity.
在文献中，已经描述了情感承诺和变革型领导与职业幸福感直接相关。从这个意义上说，本研究始于主观幸福感可能会提高变革型领导有效性的前提。为此，将领导行为调查问卷（LPI）和主观幸福感量表（SHS）应用于哥伦比亚大学215名工商管理专业学生的非概率样本。采用双变量相关分析、验证性因素分析和结构方程模型来检验幸福感维度与五种领导行为之间的关系。研究结果表明，三个幸福感项目与变革型领导行为呈正相关，这表明更幸福的个体表现出更有效的领导行为。所提出的理论模型与实证数据拟合良好。总之，提升领导者的幸福感不仅能提高他们的绩效，还会对组织生产力产生积极影响。
