ABSTRACT

The personal well-being of sport industry employees has received little attention in the literature. The current investigation addresses this gap by developing a hypothesized model of servant leadership for well-being, positing that such an approach can shape psychological, social, and physical outcomes in the sport workplace. As servant leadership is known to create an environment where employees are awakened, engaged, and developed, this approach is positioned as a key influencer of employee well-being in the sport context. Using data from 489 employees working in professional sports, structural equation modeling analyses indicated servant leadership is predictive of employee life satisfaction and teamwork, with the latter mediating servant leadership’s influence on both life satisfaction and physical health. A holistic approach to leadership for multidimensional well-being is henceforth proposed along with management implications for creating environments where sport employees can thrive both inside and outside the workplace.

摘要

文献中很少关注体育产业员工的个人幸福感。目前的调查通过开发一个假设的仆人式领导模型来解决这一差距，假设这种方法可以塑造体育工作场所的心理、社会和身体结果。众所周知，仆人式领导会创造一个员工被唤醒、参与和发展的环境，这种方法被定位为在体育环境中影响员工福祉的关键因素。使用来自 489 名从事职业运动的员工的数据，结构方程模型分析表明仆人式领导可以预测员工的生活满意度和团队合作，而后者在仆人式领导对生活满意度和身体健康的影响中起中介作用。
