Mental Health Supportive-Supervisor Behaviors Scale
A six-item scale capturing specific supervisory behaviors that promote employee mental health. The measure shows strong model fit, temporal
invariance, and predictive validity for burnout, belonging, and commitment. By distinguishing targeted mental health supportive behaviors from general supervisor support, this research identifies concrete leader actions that promote psychological safety and destigmatize help-seeking.Researchers: Dr. Allen, Dr. Leslie Hammer, Demoff
