Ruoyu Sun, Nicholas Eng, Neill, M., & Anne Perera (Ph.D. student). “Enhancing Subjective Well-Being Among Communication Professionals: The Impact of Servant Leadership and Perceived Organizational Support,” paper to be presented at the International Public Relations Research Conference (IPRRC), Orlando, FL, March.
Abstract: This study draws upon servant leadership and organizational support theories to investigate how servant leadership influences communication professionals’ subjective well-being. An online survey of 262 full-time communication professionals in the United States revealed that servant leadership enhances communication professionals’ subjective well-being by increasing perceived organizational support, which in turn alleviates strain-based work-life conflict. These findings contribute to the recent emerging body of research on well-being in communication industries and offer practical insights for fostering a supportive work environment for communication professionals.
