Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the studies about leadership in tourism literature with bibliometry technique within the framework of descriptive content analysis. The leadership themes that come to the fore as a result of the analysis are expressed and the general trends of the themes are determined. Another aim of the research is to obtain the classifications on leadership according to the periods and to provide a future-oriented research proposal by outlining important concepts and themes for future research. In this context, 723 scientific publications downloaded from the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection database and published between 1991-2020 constituted the sample of this study. Publications that deal with tourism and leadership together were included in scientific mapping analysis through SciMAT program in three periods. Key words are the basic unit of research in analysis. The most important determination about leadership in the last five years is the green human resources practices theme. It has been determined that this theme is related to "management practices", "ethical leadership", "mediating role", "citizenship behavior for the environment", "environmentally specific servant leadership".

Turizm Alanında Yer Alan Liderlik Araştırmalarının Bibliyometrik Analizi

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı turizm literatüründe yer alan liderlik ile ilgili çalışmaların betimsel içerik analizi çerçevesinde bibliyometri tekniği ile incelenmesidir. İnceleme sonucunda öne çıkan liderlik temaları ifade edilmekte ve temaların genel eğilimleri belirlenmektedir. Araştırmanın diğer bir amacı da liderlik konusundaki sınıflandırmaları dönemlere göre elde etmek ve gelecekteki araştırmalar için önemli kavram ve temaları ana hatları ile oluşturarak geleceğe yönelik bir araştırma önerisi sunmaktır. Bu bağlamda, Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection veri tabanından indirilen, 1991-2020 yılları arasında yayınlanan, 723 bilimsel yayın bu çalışmanın örneklemini oluşturmuştur. Turizm ve liderlik konusunun birlikte ele alındığı yayınlar, üç dönemde SciMAT programı aracılığı ile bilimsel haritalama analizine alınmıştır. Analizlerdeki temel araştırma birimi anahtar kelimelerdir. Son beş yılda liderlik ile ilgili en önemli tespit yeşil insan kaynakları uygulamaları temasıdır. Bu temanın "management practices", "ethical leadership", "mediating role", "citizenship behavior for the environment", "environmentally specific servant leadership" ile ilişkili olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
