Abstract:

                In today’s world, psychological well-being has been one of the most important aspects of life in learning institutions as a result of many changes in the academic environment and social environment as well as improvements in technology. Leadership is one aspect which has been very influential in the lives of students and their success in life, especially when considering the use of transformational leadership techniques. This paper seeks to explore the effects of transformational leadership on students’ psychological well-being through literature review of available resources on the subject. The review will be carried out based on the direct and indirect relationship between leadership and well-being as well as key mediators such as self-efficacy, psychological need satisfaction, and trust. Gaps in the current research will also be pointed out and recommendations for further studies offered. This paper will apply thematic literature review methodology in its analysis and synthesis of data from relevant sources.
