Abstract

The examination of employee well-being has emerged as a compelling area of study within organizational behavior (Ali & Hamakareem, 2024). Organizations are progressively recognizing the importance of their employees and their well-being in excelling in competitive environments, as employee well-being significantly influences employee performance (Kun & Gadanecz, 2022) and organizational success. The theories of Social Identity and Self-Categorization offer a comprehensive framework for understanding how individuals form their self-concept based on group affiliations and how these identities shape their behavior and interactions within the workplace. Using an integrated theoretical framework grounded in the social identity approach, encompassing both Social Identity Theory and Self-Categorization Theory, this chapter will examine the detrimental effects of toxic followership on employee well-being by synthesizing existing literature with fresh insights.
