Abstract

Background: Several studies have examined the impact of leadership on employee well-being and health. However, this research has focused on a variable-centred approach. By contrast, the present study adopts a person-centred approach.

Aims: To (a) identify latent 'resources' profiles among two samples combining vigour at work, work engagement and physical activity levels; (b) examine the link between the identified profiles and indicators of psychological/physical health; and (c) test whether different levels of transformational leadership determine the probability of belonging to a particular profile.

Method: Two samples of workers, S1 and S2 (N_S1 = 354; N_S2 = 158), completed a cross-sectional survey before their annual medical examination.

Results: For S1, the results of latent profile analysis yielded three profiles: spiritless, spirited and high-spirited. Both high-spirited and spirited profiles showed a positive relationship with mental health, whereas spiritless showed a negative relationship. For S2, two profiles (spirited and spiritless) were replicated, with similar effects on mental health, but none of them was related to total cholesterol. In both samples, transformational leadership determined the probability of belonging to a particular profile.

Conclusions: Transformational leadership increased the probability of belonging to a more positive profile and, therefore, to better workers' health.

变革型领导对工人个人资源的影响：潜在特征分析及与身心健康的联系。

背景：已有多项研究探讨了领导力对员工福利和健康的影响。然而，这些研究都侧重于以变量为中心的方法。目的：(a) 在结合工作活力、工作参与度和体育锻炼水平的两个样本中识别潜在的 "资源 "特征；(b) 检验所识别的特征与心理/生理健康指标之间的联系；(c) 检验不同水平的变革型领导是否决定了属于某一特征的概率：方法：两个工人样本 S1 和 S2（NS1 = 354；NS2 = 158）在年度体检前完成了一项横断面调查：对 S1 的潜特征分析结果显示出三种特征：无精神、有精神和精神饱满。精神饱满和精神振奋与心理健康呈正相关，而精神不振与心理健康呈负相关。在 S2 样本中，有两种特征（有精神和无精神）得到了复制，对心理健康的影响相似，但都与总胆固醇无关。在这两个样本中，变革型领导力决定了属于某一特征的概率：结论：变革型领导增加了属于更积极形象的概率，从而改善了工人的健康。
