Abstract [sv]
Hälsofrämjande ledarskap och tillit till chef har båda visat sig vara viktiga faktorer för medarbetares välmående. Forskning om hur dessa begrepp samverkar är dock begränsat. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka sambandet mellan upplevelsen av hälsofrämjande ledarskap och medarbetares tillit till sin närmaste chef, med Social Exchange Theory som teoretisk utgångspunkt.
Studien hade en kvantitativ tvärsnittsdesign och datainsamlingen skedde via en digital enkät som besvarades av 114 personer. Två validerade instrument användes: Health - Promoting Leadership Conditions (HPLC) och Trust in Leadership and Supervisors. Studien visar att ett hälsofrämjande ledarskap har ett starkt positivt samband med ökad tillit till sin chef. Utifrån Social Exchange Theory kan detta tolkas som att när chefer aktivt främjar medarbetarnas hälsa, uppfattas de som stödjande och engagerade, vilket stärker det ömsesidiga förtroendet.
Abstract [en]
Health-promoting leadership and trust in supervisors are both important for employee well-being, yet research combining the two is limited. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between employees’ perceptions of health-promoting leadership and their trust in their immediate supervisor, using Social Exchange Theory as the theoretical framework.
A quantitative cross-sectional design was used. Data was collected through a digital survey completed by 114 people. Two validated instruments were used: Health-Promoting Leadership Conditions and Trust in Leadership and Supervisors. The study shows that health-promoting leadership has a strong positive correlation with increased trust in one's manager. Based on Social Exchange Theory, this can be interpreted as meaning that when leaders actively promote employee health, they are perceived as supportive and committed, which in turn strengthens mutual trust.
