Subject background
Leadership of high quality is considered a key condition for organizing more attractive work with beneficial working conditions promoting employees health and work engagement. Qualities in leadership and approaches to meet employees and work with improvements have impact also on sustainable developments in general. This is also acknowledged by authorities, e.g. the Swedish Work Environment Authority (2015:16).
Key-factors and conditions for workers’ health, well-being and engagement have been identified through several literature reviews and the evidence based knowledge is rather robust – and the interactions between individual, group and organizational risk resp. resource factors have often stronger importance. Therefore, managerial work based on knowledge to handle interactions and combinations of risk and resource factors and conditions across different organizational levels are needed and crucial for sustainable development. However, managers also need organizational preconditions, competence and developed handling strategies for being able to meet the complex challenges in social and organizational working conditions and taking leadership of building capacity for more sustainable working conditions.
