The purpose of JLOS is to publish research aimed at helping us understand and predict effective leadership – leadership of people, groups, and organizations. JLOS continuously renews and reinvigorates leadership scholarship, practice and policy by promoting forward thinking scholarship. While leadership in organizations can be informal, it occurs in the context of people holding and acting within the scope of formal positions of management. Thus we seek to advance research that has clear functional value to managers and leaders across organizations and cultures. JLOS serves to promote scholarship that asks and/or seeks answers to grand questions, embraces paradox, addresses key fissures in scholarly and practical knowledge, and that challenges traditions, paradigms, and the status quo to create jolts and discontinuous growth in the learning curve of the field of leadership and management.

JLOS publishes impactful, unique, and creative research findings derived from testing theory-driven hypothesis through strong methodologies, while also publishing impactful theory development and cutting-edge application articles that advance the canon of knowledge on leadership and its interrelationships with other organizational phenomenon. JLOS seeks to break paradigms and encourage creative approaches to conceptualizing, measuring, and assessing leadership. For empirical articles, the journal encourages a wide variety of sound methods, whether quantitative, qualitative, neuroscience, physiological testing, experience sampling, observational studies, or other methods.

JLOS is less concerned that any one article has “the answer,” as impactful leadership research can equally make great contributions by raising key questions for future research – such as why a particular set of results occurred, or how our results would change in different contexts or under different contingencies. We are far more interested in great ideas, with practical impact for those who practice management and leadership than in publishing studies with “expected” results. In sum, research – especially well conducted research with important practical implications – is messy and we encourage research in which exploration and discovery are as important as results.

Leadership is also too often studied context-free, while in practice leadership occurs in the presence of a multitude of contextual factors and formal authority structures. JLOS thus is interested in scholarship in which researchers have embedded their work into a relevant context, and that not only offers practical implications, but has implications that are clear and valuable to those who practice leadership and management in non-profit, governmental, business and other work organizations. Further, leadership doesn’t occur in a vacuum, but while individuals lead others to perform discrete functions and to pursue specified goals and objectives. Leaders, for example, don’t just motivate followers, but motivate them to do something – something important to the team, organization, etc. Yet many tested models do not account for such factors. JLOS seeks articles that link leadership with its functional demands and outcomes. This in part may entail linking leadership in meaningful ways to organizational goals, functions, and performance pursuits, to practices in organizations such as entrepreneurship, strategy/strategic thinking, operations, and human resources, or to professions such as health care/medicine, financial management, etc. To achieve these goals, JLOS recognizes that applying context to the study of leadership can be in tension with a paper’s level of generalizability. JLOS recognizes this tradeoff and will support authors who seek to achieve balance. Such important inquiry may also need to span or combine micro-, meso-, and macro-level research.

Further, JLOS seeks articles that are forward-looking and that link leadership to emerging phenomenon such as big data, the sharing economy, and machine learning. Finally, JLOS encourages work that recognizes the global nature of the world, including international research and cross-cultural studies as they relate to leadership and its intersections with organizational studies.
