Scientific Knowledge on Leadership: A Bibliometric Analysis of The Leadership Quarterly’s Collection
Main Article Content
Abstract
This work investigates the contemporary scientific literature on leadership published in The Leadership Quarterly (LQ), the leading international journal devoted exclusively to the subject. The study is based on the application of the bibliometric method to 368 articles published by the journal in the last six years, and examines their authorship, origin, and theoretical orientation, as well as their citations and co-citations. The analysis indicates that the New Leadership Theories (Charismatic, Transactional and Transformational Leadership) and the Leader-Member Exchange Theory (LMX) are the dominant theoretical approaches in the journal. These articles are largely guided by a positivist stance on the subject and apply quantitative research methodologies. These observations are discussed as to their implications for the dissemination of the scientific literature on leadership in the national and international contexts.
