Abstract

Happiness and well-being – being the main objectives of human pursuit (Fisher 2010) – have attracted attention in organizational context (Cooper and Marshall 1978; Smith et al. 1995; Danna and Griffin 1999; Simone 2014), given the growing emphasis on quality of life at work. Increasingly, larger part of waking life is being spent at the workplace, resulting in spilling over of the workplace experiences into personal and family life. Happiness and well-being have also known to have positive effect on customer care and, consequently, on profitability and productivity. It has been observed that transformational and other forms of positive leadership have great potential to contribute significantly to individual’s happiness and well-being (Turner et al. 2002; Sivanathan et al. 2004) by ensuring justice with different stakeholders and customers but also providing money as well as meaning that help to eradicate negativity and useless stress and contribute to positive experiences. Transformational leadership and its variants like authentic leadership, servant leadership, ethical leadership, and responsible leadership are deeply rooted in spiritual and ethical values (Kumar and Vij 2014). Practicing moral values stemming from spirituality contributes to individual’s happiness and well-being (Ricard 2008). This chapter explores how transformational leadership and its variants contribute to happiness and workplace well-being and how spiritual values contribute to transformational leadership as well as happiness and well-being of the people in the workplace.
