Abstract

This study explores the influence of subordinate strength-based leadership on employee well-being and sustainable employment, with a focus on the mediating role of high-performance work systems in these relationships. Data were collected from 252 Bangladeshi employees across the manufacturing, distribution, and service industries to test the proposed analytical model and its assumptions. Structural equation modeling was applied to evaluate the hypothesis. The results of the empirical analysis indicate the following outcome. First, it was discovered that SSBL impacted on employee well-being and sustainable employment. Second, it was also determined that high-performance work systems significantly mediated the impact between the SSBL with EW and SE. These results suggest that SSBL fosters sustainable employment and employee well-being. We propose that firms look into the benefits of the SSBL approach and fully utilize critical functions that link them to employee well-being and sustainable employment.
