Resumo(s)
The quest for purpose and meaning is transversal and intrinsic to the human experience. This single-organization case study explores the emergence of Meaningful Leadership, a construct that bridges the gap between Transformational and Servant Leadership theories, within the context of a Portuguese law firm, VdA. By applying a mixed-methods approach, this paper explores the evidence and impact of Meaningful Leadership within VdA and how the construct unfolds in practice. The study aims to search for evidence of Meaningful Leadership at VdA, how it fosters an organizational culture that embodies Meaningful Leadership principles, and how these actionable dimensions affect collaborators' sense of meaning and purpose at work. We found significant correlations between Engagement, Meaning at work, and Meaningful leadership. This research contributes to the leadership scholarship of Frémeaux & Pavageau (2022) and Lips-Wiersma & Wright (2012) and adds to the Meaningful Leadership Assessment Instrument developed by de Sousa (2024). The findings offer insights into how leaders can embody an expanded awareness, motivation to serve, and determination to positively transform themselves and their organizations in pursuit of a common, long-term collective work purpose that is intrinsically meaningful.
