Human Capital Sustainability Leadership and Hedonic Well-Being Beyond Personality Traits in Workers

Letizia Palazzeschi, Annamaria Di Fabio

The present study analyzed the relationships between human capital sustainability leadership and hedonic well-being (positive affect at work, negative affect at work, and job satisfaction), controlling for the effect of personality traits. Two hundred and six Italian workers were administered the Big Five Questionnaire (BFQ), the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule at Work (PANASW), the Job Satisfaction Scale (JSS), and the Human Capital Sustainability Leadership Scale (HCSLS). The results showed that human capital sustainability leadership explained additional variance in hedonic well-being (positive affect at work, negative affect at work, and job satisfaction) beyond personality traits. These findings highlight the value of human capital sustainability leadership in promoting well-being of workers, suggesting future perspectives for research and intervention.
