“…The leadership construct has attracted scientific attention due to the positive impact it exerts within an organizational context. However, to date, very few studies have focused on the potentially harmful effects of leadership behaviors or the negative impact that misconduct can have both on individual and organizational outcomes (e.g., Pelletier, 2010;Ghislieri and Gatti, 2012;Ghislieri et al, 2019). Studies that do address the negative impact of leadership styles mostly refer to the concept of authoritarian leadership, stemming from the early experimental studies by Lewin et al (1939).…”

Although remote working can involve positive outcomes both for employees and organizations, in the case of the sudden and forced remote working situation that came into place during the COVID-19 crisis there have also been reports of negative aspects, one of which is technostress. In this context of crisis, leadership is crucial in sustainably managing and supporting employees, especially employees with workaholic tendencies who are more prone to developing negative work and health outcomes. However, while research on the role of the positive aspects of leadership during crises does exist, the negative aspects of leadership during the COVID-19 crisis have not yet been studied. The present study aimed to explore the role of authoritarian leadership in a sample of 339 administrative university employees who worked either completely from home or from home and the workplace. The study examined the moderating effect of a manager on this relationship and the connections between workaholism and technostress through conditional process analysis. Results pointed out that high authoritarian leadership had an enhancing effect, whereas low authoritarian leadership had a protective effect on the relationship between workaholism and technostress, only in the group of complete remote workers. Thus, authoritarian leadership should be avoided and training leaders to be aware of its effect appears to be essential. Limitations, future directions for the study, and practical implications are also discussed.

“…Nurses who worked under an abusive leader tend to perform poorly, are not productive (Estes, 2013; Low et al., 2019), report lower job involvement (Yang et al., 2017) and work contentment (Lyu et al., 2019; Rodwell et al, 2014) and have a greater intent to leave their organisation (Lavoie‐Tremblay et al., 2016). Narcissistic leadership, where a leader exhibits an increased sense of grandiosity and positive self‐presentation, has been correlated with poor job outcomes such as work dissatisfaction and reduced interest in the profession (Ghislieri et al., 2019). Available evidence also suggests there are adverse consequences of abusive leadership on safety outcomes in patients and nursing care quality (Lavoie‐Tremblay et al., 2016).…”

Aim To assess the impact of toxic leadership behaviours among nurse managers on nurse‐reported adverse events and quality of care. Background Toxic leadership, a form of ineffective leadership, is increasingly becoming rampant in the field of nursing and has been strongly linked to poor nurse job outcomes including job dissatisfaction, higher stress levels, and increased turnover intention. To date, no studies have been conducted to examine how this type of leadership behaviours affects patient outcomes and care quality. Methods A multicentre, cross‐sectional study. This study involved a sample of 1,053 registered nurses working in 20 hospitals in the Philippines. Three standardized scales were deployed, including the Toxic Leadership Behaviors of Nurse Managers Scale, the Adverse Patient Events Scale and the single‐item quality‐of‐care‐measure. Results Overall, nurses (96.2%) appraised the quality of care of their respective units as ‘good to excellent’ and cited complaints from patients and their families as the most commonly reported adverse events. Toxic leadership behaviours in nurse managers were strongly associated with increased nurse‐reported adverse events including reports of complaints (β = .619; p < .001) and verbal mistreatment from patients and their families (β = .407; p < .001), patient falls (β = .834; p < .001), health care–associated infections (β = .629; p < .001) and errors in administering medication (β = .708; p < .001) and with decreased quality of care (β = −.216; p < .001). Conclusion Nurses who experience working under a nurse manager exhibiting toxic behaviours reported an increased frequency of nurse‐reported adverse events and poorer quality of care in the unit. Implications for Nursing Management Organizational measure to reduce the occurrence of adverse events and enhance the quality of care provided in medical units may include intervention to develop positive leadership practices among nurse managers.

“…Between organizational sources of stress, managerial roles, relationships with colleagues, organizational climate structure and power are proved to produce significant effects on worker satisfaction, behaviors, attitudes, and performance [73,74]. Furthermore, job control perceptions and DM proved to be effective in reducing the effect of these sources of organizational stress on job satisfaction.…”

With the aim of investigating the possible moderating effect of job control and dispositional mindfulness between different sources of organizational stress and job satisfaction, a correlational study was designed involving health care workers (HCWs). The following questionnaires were administered and completed by 237 HCWs: (1) Occupational Stress Indicator (OSI), to measure the sources of stress at work (managerial role, climate power, climate structure, internal relationships), and job satisfaction; (2) Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) to assess the individual’s level of attention to what is taking place in the present; (3) Job Control Scale (JCS) to assess the perceived control at work. Hierarchical regression analyses were used to test the hypothesized relationships between variables; the results showed that, between the different sources of stress, the organizational climate dimension was negatively associated with job satisfaction; moreover, mindfulness attention moderated the relationship between climate stress and job satisfaction; unexpectedly, the interaction between job control and the organizational climate dimension was not significant in affecting job satisfaction. This study can provide useful information for Human Resources Management (HRM) practices regarding job and mental control interventions and empowerment, and possibly offer a new interpretation of the role of attention to what is happening in the present moment and autonomy between climate stressors and occupational satisfaction.
