The Relationship between Health-Promoting Leadership and Stress-Related Exhaustion : A Quantitative Study (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Stressrelaterad utmattning utgör en växande utmaning i arbetslivet och har kopplats till både psykisk ohälsa och ökad personalomsättning. Hälsofrämjande ledarskap har föreslagits som en skyddande faktor mot arbetsrelaterad stress, men få svenska studier har empiriskt undersökt detta samband.

Syfte och frågeställning: Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka sambandet mellan upplevt hälsofrämjande ledarskap och självrapporterad stressrelaterad utmattning hos medarbetare.

Metod: En webbaserad enkät besvarades av 69 deltagare från olika branscher och yrkesroller. Ett bekvämlighetsurval användes. Deltagarna skattade nivåer av stressrelaterad utmattning (via KEDS) och upplevt hälsofrämjande ledarskap. Deskriptiv statistik och Pearsons korrelationer användes i analysen.

Resultat: Ett signifikant negativt samband identifierades mellan hälsofrämjande ledarskap och stressrelaterad utmattning (r = –.25, p = .041), vilket indikerar att ett mer hälsofrämjande ledarskap är förknippat med lägre grad av utmattningssymtom. Inga signifikanta samband påvisades mellan utmattning och de inkluderade kontrollvariablerna.

Slutsats: Resultatet tyder på att hälsofrämjande ledarskap kan fungera som en skyddande faktor mot stressrelaterad utmattning, vilket i förlängningen kan bidra till minskad personalomsättning och förbättrad arbetsmiljö.

Abstract [en]

Background: Burnout and exhaustion-related stress are growing concerns in modern work life, contributing to both mental ill health and increased staff turnover. Health-promoting leadership has been proposed as a protective factor, but empirical research in Sweden remains limited.

Aim and Research Question: The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between perceived health-promoting leadership and symptoms of stress-related exhaustion among employees.

Method: A web-based survey was completed by 69 participants from various sectors and job roles. A convenience sampling method was used. Participants rated levels of stress-related exhaustion, as measured by the Karolinska Exhaustion Disorder Scale (KEDS), and perceived health-promoting leadership Descriptive statistics and Pearson correlations were conducted.

Results: A significant negative correlation was found between stress -related exhaustion and health-promoting leadership (r = –.25, p = .041), suggesting that supportive leadership maybe associated with lower stress levels. None of the control variables showed significant correlations.

Conclusion: The findings indicate that health-promoting leadership may reduce the risk of employee exhaustion and help lower staff turnover.
