Journal of Leadership & Organizational Studies (JLOS)

The Journal of Leadership & Organizational Studies (often abbreviated JLOS) is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal dedicated to advancing theoretical and empirical research on leadership and organizational phenomena across diverse settings. Published quarterly by SAGE Publications in association with the Midwest Academy of Management, the journal focuses on studies that deepen understanding of how leaders influence individuals, teams, groups, and entire organizations — and how organizational context shapes leadership effectiveness. Its scope spans leadership theory, strategic leadership, leadership development, organizational behavior, human resource practices, ethical leadership, cross-cultural leadership, and the interplay between leadership processes and organizational outcomes. JLOS publishes a mix of rigorous empirical research, conceptual articles, methodological advances, and cutting-edge applied studies that contribute to both academic knowledge and practical insights for leaders and managers. The journal values work that bridges theory with real-world implications, encouraging studies that challenge traditional paradigms, propose new frameworks, and address emerging topics such as digital leadership, diversity and inclusion, ethical decision-making, adaptive leadership in turbulent environments, and cross-sector leadership challenges. By fostering interdisciplinary dialogue among scholars in management, psychology, sociology, and related fields, JLOS serves as an influential forum in the leadership research community.
