Abstract
This study investigates the intricate relationship between leadership and well-being within organizational setups in India. In today’s dynamic world, well-being is crucial, encompassing emotional, physical, and social dimensions. Leadership significantly influences the health and happiness of followers, yet there is a gap in understanding the nuanced link between leadership styles and well-being outcomes. The objective of this study is to consolidate and review literature on leaders’ well-being, elucidating the role of leaders’ well-being as both antecedents and consequences. By examining various theories, this research aims to provide insights into how different leadership styles impact employee well-being and organizational effectiveness. The significance of this study lies in its contribution to advancing leadership and well-being discourse, filling gaps in literature, and informing organizational policies and practices to create healthier workplaces. Utilizing a rigorous methodology, relevant literature is selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, ensuring quality and comprehensiveness. The literature review section explores how transformational leadership fosters supportive and empowering workplaces, while also discussing the importance of effective leadership practices such as open communication and genuine leadership. Furthermore, the role of leadership support in facilitating work-life balance and promoting employee well-being is highlighted. In conclusion, this study underscores the importance of aligning leadership practices with organizational culture to enhance employee well-being and organizational performance. Future research and practical applications are essential to further comprehend this complex relationship and develop empirically supported strategies for fostering healthy and efficient organizations in India.
