Bibliometric Analysis of Digital Leadership According to Visual Mapping Technique

Abstract

With the Covid-19 epidemic's spread of remote working models, the continuous rise in the number of virtual organisations has enabled the effective use of information technologies and management information systems in business processes. Because to this circumstance, the idea of digital leadership—which is the forerunner of the digital transformation process—is widely discussed in academic papers. The goal of this study is to present a comprehensive view of the relevant literature by analysing the content of scientific publications on the concept of "digital leadership" published between 2004 and 2022. In this direction, 134 scientific publications on digital leadership were examined with the bibliometric analysis method using the Web of Science database, and the results were visualised using the VOSviewer software programme. According to bibliometric analyses, the most publications in the form of articles on bibliometric leadership were discovered, and there was an increase in publications, particularly after 2019. The research found that the majority of publications were in the field of management; Germany was the most productive country, El Sawy, Kraemmergaard, Amsinck, and Vinther (2016) was the most cited author, and digital transformation was the most used keyword. It is expected that the findings of the analysis will serve as a foundation for future research on the subject and will inform researchers about topics that are likely to be the focus of research activities in the near future, based on the published studies on digital leadership.

Dijital Liderliğin Görsel Haritalama Tekniğine Göre Bibliyometrik Analizi

Abstract

Covid-19 salgını ile birlikte uzaktan çalışma modellerinin yaygınlaşmasıyla sanal örgüt sayılarının sürekli artması bilgi teknolojileri ile yönetim bilişim sistemlerinin iş süreçlerinde etkin bir şekilde kullanılmasını sağlamıştır. Bu durum, günümüzde dijital dönüşüm sürecinin öncüsü olan dijital liderliği bilimsel yayınlarda sıklıkla incelenen bir kavram haline getirmiştir. Bu araştırmanın amacı, 2004-2022 yılları arasında “dijital liderlik” kavramına yönelik yapılan bilimsel yayınların içerik analizini yaparak ilgili literatüre holistik bir bakış açısı sunmaktır. Bu doğrultuda, araştırmada öncelikle Web of Science veri tabanı kullanılarak dijital liderlik konusunda yapılan 134 bilimsel yayın bibliyometrik analiz yöntemi ile irdelenmiş, ardından elde edilen veriler VOSviewer yazılım programı kullanılarak görselleştirilmiştir. Bibliyometrik analizler sonucunda, bibliyometrik liderlik konusunda en çok makale türünde yayına ulaşılmış ve özellikle 2019 yılından sonra yapılan yayınlarda artış olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Yayınların ağırlıklı olarak yönetim alanında yapıldığı belirlenen araştırma sonuçlarında; en üretken ülkenin Almanya, en çok atıf alan yazarın El Sawy, Kraemmergaard, Amsinck ve Vinther (2016), en çok kullanılan anahtar kelimenin ise dijital dönüşüm olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Analiz neticesinde ulaşılan sonuçların araştırma konusuna dair gelecekteki çalışmalara kaynak sağlayacağı ve dijital liderlik konusunda yayınlanmış çalışmalar ile yakın gelecekte araştırma faaliyetlerinin odağı olmaya aday konulara yönelik araştırmacılara katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
