Abstract
Drawing on conservation of resources theory and event system theory, we explored the relationship between empowering leadership and leaders' psychological well-being. Multiwave data were collected from 190 leaders in a variety of companies in Mainland China. We found that empowering leadership was positively related to leader recovery, which mediated the positive effect of empowering leadership on leaders' psychological well-being. Event disruption moderated the positive relationship between empowering leadership and leader recovery, such that the relationship was significant only when event disruption was low. Furthermore, event disruption moderated the indirect effect of empowering leadership on leaders' psychological well-being via leader recovery, such that the effect was significant only when event disruption was low. Implications and limitations of our study are discussed.
