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.
