Health-promoting leadership and leadersʹ listening skills have an impact on the employeesʹ job satisfaction and turnover intentionDunkl, Anita (Avtor) Milfelner, Borut (Avtor) Šarotar Žižek, Simona (Avtor) Jiménez, Paul (Avtor) health-promoting leadershipjob satisfactionlisteningturnover intentionwell-beingThe topic of health-promoting leadership has often been investigated on its impact on health outcomes. However, it is still unclear if healthpromoting leadership has an impact on other well-being parameters at work besides health. Another leadership behavior, the leaders’ listening skills, can benefit well-being parameters at the workplace, such as job satisfaction, which in turn lowers turnover intention. In the present study, we investigate the relationship between health-promoting leadership, the leaders’ listening skills, job satisfaction, and turnover intention to get a clearer picture about the effects of different leadership behaviors on the employees’ well-being. The results of an online-study with 354 Austrian and Slovenian workers showed that both types of leadership behaviors had a direct effect on the employees’ job satisfaction and an indirect effect on turnover intention through job satisfaction. Listening was found to have a stronger direct impact on job satisfaction. The findings indicate that both leadership behaviors are able to support well-being at the workplace.20252025-07-08 03:06:43Znanstveno delo93621sl
