Abstract
Maintaining employee morale and lowering distress are important for employee well-being and effectiveness. This study investigated antecedents of employee morale and distress. A sample of 112 participants from various health care disciplines was recruited. Results indicated that transformational leadership influenced morale and distress through team processes. Male and female leaders did not differ in transformational leadership as both were related to higher morale in followers. Only male leaders significantly reduced employee distress. The findings have implications for staff retention, sick leave and health services in a time of high demand and declining supply.
