Main Article Content
Abstract
The aim of this research was to investigate the interactions between positive leadership, organizational culture, and employee wellbeing among Thai workers. The research’s conceptual framework proposes that organizational culture will mediate the relationship between positive leadership and employee wellbeing. The research was conducted as a survey of employees in a large Thai organization. Statistical analysis included confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling. The analysis confirmed that positive leadership significantly influenced organizational culture and employee wellbeing, that organizational culture significantly influenced employee wellbeing, and that organizational culture partially mediated the effect of positive leadership on employee wellbeing. This finding implies that positive leadership alone is insufficient to foster employee wellbeing; a supportive organizational culture is also essential.
