Background: the COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to increased teleworking in society, which affects occupational health. Leadership is important for a prosperous organization and the health of workers. Relationship-based leadership, which involves the social interaction between management and workers, has an impact on workers' occupational health. Aim: the aim is to investigate relationship-based leadership and occupational health in teleworking during the COVID-19 pandemic and possible links between relationship-based leadership and workers' occupational health. Method: to answer the aim of the study, a quantitative method was applied with a cross-sectional design. The data collection was collected with a survey and the sample consisted of 82 workers in teleworking. The collected material was analyzed in SPSS and presented in frequency tables and correlation analysis. Results: the results describe that the majority feel relationship-based leadership and occupational health in teleworking during the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, it is made clear that most people feel that relationship-based leadership has not changed during teleworking in the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a significant relationship between relationship-based leadership and occupational health. Conclusion: the conclusion is that there is a moderate positive significant relationship between relationship-based leadership and occupational health. Keywords: COVID-19 pandemic, occupational health, public health, relationship-based leadership, teleworking.
