Abstract

Research related to leadership and well-being has been gaining momentum in this past decade (Donaldson-Feilder, Munir, & Lewis, 2013; Kuoppala et al., 2008). However, upon examining the vast majority of the literature, we notice that it is lacking in a particular area: qualitative research. Are we certain then that the bulk of current research, being quantitative in nature, is providing us with a complete picture of leadership and its effect on employee well-being? With this question in mind, it is the aim of this study to bring together current qualitative literature relating to leadership and organizational well-being. By bringing together the concepts, themes, and findings of the qualitative literature we can broaden our understandings of leadership and well-being in general, while also becoming informed on the approaches of this qualitative research.
