The Impact of Empowering Leadership on Flourishing at Work: A Systematic Review

This systematic review examines the impact of empowering leadership on employee flourishing across diverse organisational settings. This study's method is a systematic review that analyses 20 articles. Drawing on evidence from recent empirical studies, the review highlights that empowering leadership characterised by autonomy-supportive behaviours, trust, and shared decision-making significantly enhances psychological empowerment and contributes to higher levels of well-being, engagement, meaningfulness, and positive workplace functioning. Future studies should focus on the intricacies and long-term effects of empowered leadership, ensuring that businesses can deliberately harness leadership behaviours that promote both employee well-being and corporate success.
