Leaders' negative emotions and leadership styles influencing subordinates' well-being

• Emotions are an important aspect of organizational life. However emotional issues, particularly negative emotions, have traditionally been largely neglected in organizational life. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire leadership styles, and leaders’negative emotions perceived by the subordinates. The aim is also to investigate the influence of leadership styles on the subordinates’ overall psychological health and well-being. The result challenges some of the earlier findings, suggesting that there is a need for a better understanding of how contextual factors might intervene in the relation between leaders’ negative emotions, leadership styles, and subordinates’ well-being.
