Exploring the Moderating Role of Health Promoting Leadership on Burnout and Willingness to Take Leave

Employees and organizations are consistently being studied for the wellness of employees. There have been gaps in viewing workers as individuals and in catering to their specific needs. In more recent years, researchers have seen emerging impacts of organizational and employee wellness as employees desire more benefits within work. As an increasing issue, employee wellness poses challenges to both employees and their employers. This has led to topics such as burnout, willingness to take leave (WTTL) and health promoting leadership (HPL) to be explored. Burnout is a psychological and physical state of chronic emotional and physical exhaustion, often accompanied by a sense of reduced personal accomplishment and a feeling of cynicism or detachment from work. Willingness to take leave is an employee's readiness or eagerness to request and use time off from work. Additionally, health promoting leadership is defined as an approach to leadership within organizations that prioritizes the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of employees.
