- Abstract
Well-being has been pointed out as an essential phenomenon for the adequate and competitive performance of organizations. This current study tested the relationships managerial styles and organizational support for ascension, promotion, and salaries have with work well-being. This variable includes the positive effects, the negative effects and personal fulfillment at work. The study was conducted in two private organizations. A total of 157 workers answered a survey composed by using the Evaluation Scale of Managerial Styles (Melo, 2004), Organizational Support Scale (Tamayo, Pinheiro, Tróccoli, & Paz, 2000) and Work Well-being Scale (Paschoal & Tamayo, 2008), all of which have been validated in Brazil. The data was analyzed by means of bivariate correlation and standard multiple regression. The results indicate that managerial styles as well as support for ascension, promotion and salary have significant association with work well-being. The variable support presented stronger associations with well-being factors and it was also the most important predictor. The more positive the perception of support is, the greater the positive affect and worker fulfillment is and the lesser the negative affect is. Organizational actions and practices seem to be of utmost importance for work well-being, rather than specific behavior of managers.
