Examining the impact of sustainable leadership on employee subjective well-being: a mediated moderation model involving compassion and burnout

This study contributes to the emerging literature on SL by introducing compassion as a key mediating mechanism in enhancing employee SWB. It further extends existing models by identifying burnout as a boundary condition that weakens the compassion-well-being link. The findings offer a nuanced understanding of how SL can foster well-being in healthcare settings, particularly during crisis contexts such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
