Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The role of HR in organizational success, as a key competitive advantage, is a topic that has attracted a great deal of interest in recent years. However, it is of vital importance to know the contextual factors that strengthen employees’ ongoing development and look after their physical and emotional well-being. In fact, the work environment and its elements directly affect the behavior of human beings. Leadership and work climates are critical elements that can increase or decrease employees' efforts and their perception of well-being. Therefore, leadership, work climates, and the physical and emotional health of employees must be strategically linked to meet organizational goals. This Special Issue, “Strategic Partnership Between Leadership and Work Climates to Elevate the Role of HR in Organizational Success”, invites contributions to explore how leadership, work climates, and people need to come together for organizational success, and also the obstacles that prevent this strategic partnership.
This Special Issue aims to stimulate a wide range of researchers and disciplines to submit papers, e.g., from behavioral science, economics, industrial organization, management, business, public policy, international relations, organizational psychology, sociology, and many others. Finally, this Special Issue seeks not only to enhance current views on such broad topics as leadership, work climates, HR, and holistic employee well-being, but also to identify how their strategic integration can lead to organizational success.
