Resumen

Comportamiento de liderazgo no saludable también conocido como teoría del líder tóxico. Afecta a la base de empleados y crea entornos que son menos efectivos debido al estrés, la devaluación y la posible pérdida de puestos de trabajo. Y hoy, este desafío también ha sacudido la excelencia académica en la educación superior. Este documento dio un paso de gigante para investigar el comportamiento de liderazgo no saludable y la retención de empleados que afecta la excelencia académica y sugirió una estrategia de afrontamiento mediante la adopción de un enfoque realista crítico. Este enfoque se utiliza y adopta para comprender la relación significativa entre el comportamiento de liderazgo no saludable, la retención de empleados y la excelencia académica. El estudio se centra en 48 jefes de unidades de universidades tanto públicas como privadas. Los hallazgos revelan que la falta de satisfacción laboral y compromiso organizacional es rampante entre los educadores superiores debido a un comportamiento de liderazgo poco saludable que conduce a implicaciones en la satisfacción laboral, la retención laboral y el compromiso organizacional, que son componentes clave de las productividades organizacionales.
