This article describes the relationship between happiness at work and leadership through a narrative review of the literature available in the Scopus and Web of Science databases. It is included general debates, review of previous studies, analysis of state of the art, and research perspectives. The objective is to expand the discussion of the existing relationship between these two variables and their influence on organizational performance. Different types of leadership that have been positively related to happiness at work were identified, such as transformational, altruistic, servant, authentic, and influential leadership. Based on the analysis of the available literature, it is possible to conclude about the causal relationship between both approaches, especially in those that leadership emphasize the worker and its performance. The main aim is to impact organizations through human talent management, and contribute to the formation of transformational, ethical, altruistic, inspiring, authentic, and service-oriented leaders, who impact their feelings and attitudes, as well as their performance.

Keywords : Happiness at work; Leadership; Positive leadership; Performance.
