Purpose

This paper aims to examine the relationship between empowering leadership and the holistic well-being construct, i.e. flourishing-at-work.

Design/methodology/approach

On the basis of an extensive review of literature and using conservation of resource (COR) theory and self-determination theory (SDT), this study proposes a conceptual framework with employee work passion (EWP) as a link connecting empowering leadership and flourishing-at-work.

Findings

Empowering leadership has the ability to enhance EWP and thereby increase the overall well-being of employees (flourishing). Moreover, the study demonstrates that EWP serves as a potential mechanism connecting empowering leadership and flourishing-at-work.

Research limitations/implications

Being a conceptual paper, the proposed framework lacks empirical validation.

Practical implications

Organizations should focus on leaders with empowering behaviours and strive towards increasing EWP.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to propose the role of EWP as a possible conceptual link between empowering leadership and employee flourishing-at-work. This paper emphasizes the importance of flourishing-at-work in the current climate of rising mental tensions among employees, which leads to adverse organizational outcomes.
