Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Employee Motivation, grade: 1,0, University of Economics, Prague (Faculty of Business Administration), course: Management for doctoral students, language: English, abstract: This paper analyzes the impact of transformational leadership on employee well-being in remote work environments. As several studies suggest, there is a positive relationship between transformational leadership and employee well-being, but it is rather complex as it is influenced by specific mediating and moderating factors. Since the ongoing COVID-19 crisis forced many teams into remote working conditions, also leadership was predominantly performed virtually. This leads to adapted requirements for the promotion of employee well-being. This paper seeks to identify those adjustments. Thus, a conceptual model was constructed to illustrate the relationship of transformational leadership and employee well-being, which was then applied to remote work environments to propose relevant adaptations.
