Strategic Leadership: A Systematic Literature Review and Research Agenda

Öz

This study aimed to examine the concept of strategic leadership through a systematic literature review, referencing 361 articles indexed in the Web of Science, Scopus, and ScienceDirect databases from 1982 to 2024. First, a bibliometric analysis was performed and the data were visualized using the VOSviewer software. Second, content analysis employing MAXQDA revealed prominent concepts and relationships between them. The results showed that the first study on strategic leadership was published in 1982 and that the number of such publications gradually increased throughout the 1990s. In the 2000s, the concept of strategic leadership expanded due to the impact of technological developments and digitalization, while academic interest reached its peak in the 2020s. The findings further revealed that strategic leadership is often associated with senior managers and that concepts such as innovation and performance are closely related to the study of strategic leadership. While the concept's theoretical roots are in management and organizational behavior, the analysis indicates that the field of education has been a significant and frequent context for its study, alongside recent expansions into psychology and technology. This review concludes that strategic leadership has evolved into a critical capability for ensuring organizational adaptability and long-term competitiveness in turbulent environments. Consequently, future research should explore this concept in cross-cultural settings, digitally intensive industries, and emerging economies to expand theoretical insights and offer practical guidance for organizations facing rapid change.
