# The Mediating Role of Work Engagement in the Relationship Between Supportive Leadership and Employee Wellbeing
## Overview
This research explores how supportive leadership impacts employee well-being, with work engagement serving as a mediating factor. Using data from the European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS) 2015, the study examines the relationships between supportive leadership, social support, mental health, and self-rated health status (SRHS) in Western Europe.
## Key Findings
- **Supportive leadership and social support** positively influence employee mental health and self-rated health.
- **Work engagement acts as a mediator**, reinforcing the impact of leadership and social support on well-being.
- The **Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model** and **Conservation of Resources (COR) theory** explain how leadership behaviors enhance engagement and well-being.
- Practical recommendations include **fostering a supportive leadership style, enhancing employee engagement, and promoting social support** within organizations.
## Methodology
- **Dataset:** EWCS 2015 (n=12,123 employees across 12 Western European countries).
- **Analysis Techniques:** Mediation analysis using multiple linear regression and bootstrapping in R.
- **Key Variables:**
- Independent Variables: Supportive Leadership, Social Support
- Mediator: Work Engagement
- Dependent Variables: Mental Health, Self-Rated Health Status (SRHS)
- Controls: Age, Gender, Job Demand, Sleep Quality, Work Sector
## Theoretical Framework
- **JD-R Model:** Highlights the balance between job demands and resources in employee well-being.
- **COR Theory:** Emphasizes the role of resource conservation in stress mitigation and health outcomes.
## Implications
- **For Organizations:** Encourage supportive leadership practices to enhance employee engagement and well-being.
- **For Managers:** Provide emotional and instrumental support to employees.
- **For Future Research:** Explore additional mediators/moderators, longitudinal studies, and diverse cultural contexts.
