Abstract:
The healthcare setting is a complex and dynamic workplace that interacts with the worker’s well-being. Interventions that aim to protect the healthcare workforce from workplace pressure should consider, among other targets, management or leadership styles. We aimed to describe the effects of leadership style on healthcare workers’ psychological well-being. A scoping review was conducted by synthesizing the peer-reviewed original research accepted or published about the effect of leadership styles on mental well-being in French and English from the databases PubMed and Google Scholar during the past decade (2013-2024). We got from the research strategy 516 records, and 13 studies in English from 7 countries were included for synthesis. Leadership styles such as abusive and exploitative interact negatively with healthcare workers’ mental well-being in the form of emotional pressures, cognitive pressures, or mental pressures, psychological distress, stress, exhaustion, and interfering with psychological capital and ownership. Whereas leadership styles such as transformational, supportive, authentic, and inclusive leadership styles safeguard the health staff’s mental well-being. The result of this review recommends putting in place leadership development programs to introduce leadership development into the health school students’ curriculum. Our study proposes also conducting research with analytic and experimental designs, as well as extending studies to other healthcare professionals and healthcare settings.
