Employee effort – reward balance and first‐level manager transformational leadership within elderly care

ConclusionsWe conclude that the first‐level manager is an important actor for achieving a good workplace within elderly care, since she/he influences employees' psychosocial working environment. We also conclude that there are differences and inequalities, in terms of well‐being, effort and reward at the work place, between those with academic training and those without, in that the former group to a higher degree evaluated their first‐level manager to perform a transformational leadership style, which in turn is beneficial for their psychosocial work environment. Consequently, this (re)‐produce inequalities in terms of well‐being, effort and reward among the employees at the work place.
