AB Happiness and wellbeing studies and publications are becoming more commonin a culture that sees the need for a global effort in response to the stagnation of “happiness”in modern Western civilization. The business world, its leaders, and its organizations areno exception. This study analyzes happy leaders, roles, involvement, and organizationaloutcomes. The authors conducted an extensive search, concluding that there is a lack ofacademic papers that explain the presence of this concept in the field of leadership stylestudies based on a literature review and bibliometric analysis of documentary, hermeneutic,non- experimental, generalist, and descriptive types on the appealing concept of “happyleadership”. Therefore, it is clear that there is a need for more academic studies of strategicmanagement and human resources in terms of the definition of happy leadership. Thisstudy opens new ground in happy leadership by combining seven actions into a conceptualizationthat goes beyond definition and can be used as an explanatory and practicalmodel with an integrative approach. This chapter significantly contributes to management,strategic management and human resources. It sets out to conceptualize the term withan overview through a definition and proposes seven management practices that lead to“happy leadership”.
