Abstract:
Using a snowball sample of 244 employed participants, I examined the role of thriving as a mediator between a contextual (transformational leadership), a noncontextual factor (social support) and psychological well-being. Consistent with the socially embedded thriving model, thriving partially mediated the effect of transformational leadership but did not mediate the effect of social support on wellbeing. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
