Business Results and Well-being: An Engaging Leadership Intervention Study Business Results and Well-being: An Engaging Leadership Intervention Study doi:10.17026/DANS-X8Z-G9BDeasy-dataset:162947 LARS van Tuin 2019-07-16 DANS Data Station Social Sciences and Humanities 2020-05-06 Social Sciencesco-creation; leadership development; self-determination theory; engaging leadership; intrinsic motivation; absenteeism; well-being <p>Abstract: The present quasi-experimental study tested the business impact of a leadership development programme focusing on psychological well-being through the satisfaction of basic psychological needs. Based on the concept of engaging leadership and self-determination theory the 8-month programme targeted midlevel team leaders of the customer fulfilment centre of a health systems multinational organization. The program was designed in co-creation between senior leadership and the team leaders that participated in the programme. Outcomes showed positive business results through significant increases in a preselected key performance indicator and decreased employee absenteeism. Through changes in autonomy satisfaction and intrinsic motivation, the team leaders (N = 14) benefitted in a moderate to very large extent relative to a similar control group (N = 52), whereas the team members (N = 148) displayed no such benefits. Specifically, higher levels of autonomy satisfaction are said to lead to higher levels of psychological well-being and motivation, but the link with business performance is absent in most organizational studies within self-determination theory, making the present study one of the first to fill this gap. The study discloses programme design, compares the effects to a relevant control group, evaluates the lessons learned, and provides practical suggestions.</p>Date: 01-03-2016 - 06-07-2017 (datacollection)Date: 2019-07-16 https://ssh.datastations.nl/oai doi:10.17026/DANS-X8Z-G9BD 2025-12-03T01:00:29Z ddi:codebook:2_5
