Resumo

O estudo das relações não lineares entre as características da liderança e o bem-estar profissional dos colaboradores abre caminho para a compreensão dos determinantes psicológicos deste fenómeno e a perspectiva de uma prevenção eficaz das suas violações. O objetivo deste estudo é determinar a natureza da relação entre estilo de liderança, apoio social e bem-estar profissional de um indivíduo e, em particular, testar empiricamente o papel mediador do apoio social na relação entre características de liderança e bem-estar profissional. De acordo com o objetivo deste estudo, foi aplicado um método transversal usando a escala de avaliação de liderança percebida do Questionário de Liderança Multifatorial (MLQ, formulário 5X-Short), Questionário de Satisfação de Necessidades (NSQ), Escala de Satisfação no Trabalho (JSS), Escala Social apoiar. Os participantes da pesquisa foram 85 professores de escolas superiores da Ucrânia. A análise estatística incluiu análise de mediação e análise de correlação. De acordo com os resultados do estudo, constatou-se que a influência do estilo de liderança no bem-estar profissional se dá através da mediação do apoio social e da satisfação das necessidades psicológicas dos colaboradores. Verificou-se que a contribuição relativa do apoio social na previsão do bem-estar profissional aumenta com a diminuição da natureza positiva da liderança. Assim, o apoio social modera o impacto das características negativas da liderança no bem-estar dos colaboradores, compensando a frustração de certas necessidades psicológicas. Os efeitos mediadores identificados ampliam as ideias existentes sobre os mecanismos psicológicos de formação do bem-estar profissional dos colaboradores e os rumos para sua correção na prática gerencial.
