Journal of Leadership Studies (JLS)

The Journal of Leadership Studies is a peer‑reviewed quarterly academic journal published by John Wiley & Sons on behalf of the University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies. First established in 2007, the journal aims to bridge the gap between leadership theory and practice, providing a forum for scholars, practitioners, and doctoral students to publish rigorous research and conceptual work that directly inform leadership practice and theory. Covering a broad spectrum of leadership topics, the journal publishes empirical studies, theoretical analyses, and integrative reviews on leadership dynamics within organizations and communities. Its interdisciplinary focus invites perspectives from management, education, health care, nonprofit leadership, and public administration, emphasizing how leadership influences organizational effectiveness, human behavior, strategic decision‑making, and societal outcomes. Contributions explore leadership models, ethical decision‑making, cross‑cultural leadership practices, and contemporary challenges such as technology, globalization, and workforce change. Edited by Hinrich Eylers, the journal fosters dialogue that advances both scholarly knowledge and practical application. With an online e‑ISSN 1935‑262X and print ISSN 1935‑2611, it continues to be a respected venue for leadership research with relevance to academics, executives, and leadership educators worldwide.
