We examined the impact of emotional leadership on employees’ mental health by establishing a cross-level theoretical model to test this relationship as a function of employees’ sense of job security, self-directed learning, and organizational identification. The research sample consisted of 304 employees of 10 high-technology companies in China. Results show that emotional leadership was positively associated with employees’ mental health, and that job security mediated this relationship. Organizational identification and self-directed learning positively moderated the relationship between job security and employees’ mental health, resulting in a moderated mediation effect on the model. The conclusions of this study have implications for improving employees’ mental health via interactions with emotional leaders.
