Linking Leader Communication Style to Burnout: The Mediating Role of Psychological Safety
(2026-04) Parenteau, Adrian, P. K.
Burnout is an epidemic affecting employees in the United States. Leader communication style, a core behavioral characteristic of leadership, has been shown to influence employees’ experiences of burnout. Psychological safety, which is associated with reduced burnout and improved workplace functioning, may help explain how leader communication influences employee wellbeing. The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating role of psychological safety in the relationship between leader communication style and job burnout. A convenience sample of 567 full-time U.S. workers completed a non-experimental, cross-sectional online survey. Participants responded to sociodemographic and job-related items, as well as measures to evaluate leader communication style, psychological safety, and burnout. Results indicated that verbally aggressive, emotional, and impression-manipulative leader communication styles were associated with higher levels of job burnout, whereas precise communication was associated with lower burnout. Psychological safety was negatively related to burnout and mediated several of the observed relationships between leader communication styles and burnout. These findings suggest that leader communication behaviors may influence employee burnout in part through their impact on the availability of psychological safety as a social job resource in the workplace. However, the relationships between expressive and questioning communication styles and burnout were less consistent, highlighting the need for additional research to better understand the nuanced effects of leader communication on employee well-being.

Data for "The nesting and foraging biology of the bee Colletes andrewsi (Hymenoptera: Colletidae), a rare specialist of Heuchera spp."
(2026-05-14) Chase, Marissa; Cariveau, Daniel; chase450@umn.edu; Chase, Marissa; University of Minnesota Cariveau Native Bee Lab
Many bee nesting and foraging studies are concentrated on common species and floral generalists. Therefore, numerous rare and specialized species lack crucial life history information, which is the case for many species within the genus Colletes. We documented the nesting and foraging biology of C. andrewsi, a rare specialist on Heuchera spp.. Nest observations and excavations revealed that C. andrewsi females are philopatric and make shallow (< 7 cm), simple nests. Many females constructed multiple nests in short succession. Our foraging results show that C. andrewsi females are entirely dependent on Heuchera richardsonii in Minnesota, as we never observed pollen or nectar foraging on other flowering species. Additionally, we found that females can forage long distances (> 300 m; mean = 143 m) and sometimes exhibit high patch fidelity. Mating occurred during foraging bouts at H. richardsonii flowers and likely throughout their adult lifespan. Altogether, more population-level studies on solitary and rare bee species, such as those investigating life history, are needed to aid conservation efforts.
