Leaders as motivators: A test of an integrated theory of leadership and motivation to predict employees' psychological health and productivity.

组织的有效性取决于领导者的素质。 虽然研究表明，某些领导行为可以提高心理健康（提高工作满意度，减少压力）和生产力，但尚不清楚为什么会发生这种情况。 这一建议通过开发一种领导模式来解决这一缺陷，该模式将激励作为领导者行为和结果之间的核心过程。 该模型在新的创新研究设计中进行了测试，包括一项测试干预措施以提高领导效率的研究。 该研究将增加对工作场所领导力的理解，并提供切实可行的方法来改善员工的心理健康和生产力。

The effectiveness of organisations depends upon the quality of its leaders. While research shows that certain leader behaviours can enhance psychological heath (increase job satisfaction, reduce stress) and productivity, it is not clear why this occurs. This proposal addresses this shortcoming by developing a model of leadership that places motivation as a core process between the leader's behaviour and outcomes. The model is tested across new innovative research designs, including a study that tests an intervention to improve leadership effectiveness. The research will increase the understanding of workplace leadership and provide practical ways to improve employees' psychological health and productivity.
