Mental Health Supportive-Supervisor Behaviors Scale

The Mental Health Supportive-Supervisor Behaviors scale includes 6 items 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.
