From microscopic to macroscopic perspectives and back: The study of leadership and health/well-being.

Abstract

This special issue introduces a set of papers that contribute to research on leadership and health/well-being from multiple perspectives. To situate these papers in current research debates, this introduction to the special issue provides an overview of research on leadership and health/well-being by using a microscope-macroscope perspective as an organizing framework. The microscope-macroscope organizing framework highlights that a comprehensive understanding of leadership and well-being requires researchers to consider multiple perspectives, including those of leaders and followers, embedded in their context and time. It encourages researchers to transcend more narrow input-process-output perspectives that are typically adopted when studying leadership and health/well-being.
