Abstract: The aims of the present research are two-fold. The first aim is to explore the psychometric properties of a developed measure of team leaders' attitudes toward depressed employees. This will address a major deficit in the literature. The main objective of this research is to determine the individual and contextual correlates of team leaders' attitudes toward depressed employees in Chennai IT industries. The nature of the research is descriptive method, and the sample size is 300 respondents from various locations in India and data collection method used in the research is questionnaire method. Data was analysed by using SPSS 16.0. Findings, suggestions and conclusions were made by keeping an eye on the objectives. A second aim of this study is to identify individual and contextual correlates of these attitudes. This knowledge can inform design interventions that may help promote a positive climate for mental health in organisations and facilitate supportive managerial behaviour toward employees with symptoms or diagnoses of depressive disorders. A number of hypotheses are advanced in relation to these potential correlates of team leader's attitudes toward depressed employees.
