Abstract

This chapter reviews how leadership facilitates workplace wellbeing, encompassing physical, financial, social, and psychological dimensions. Leadership is a process, and a person dynamically influences the work environment. Effective leadership is crucial for workplace wellbeing, impacting employee retention and turnover. Various leadership styles, such as transformational, authentic, and servant leadership, support wellbeing differently. Transformational leadership inspires and connects with workplace wellbeing, authentic leadership fosters genuine support and connection, and servant leadership emphasizes follower empowerment. Beneficial leadership styles enhance employee retention and reduce turnover by directly supporting wellbeing dimensions. Leadership styles and individual perceptions shape the dynamic workplace wellbeing experience, influencing job attitudes, demands, and resources.
