“Leadership” Studies in Turkey (1983 - 2021): A Bibliometric Analysis

Öz

The aim of this study is to analyze and examine the articles on leadership in Turkey with the bibliometric method. For this purpose, 894 articles published between 1983 and 2021, obtained by using the Web of Science (WoS) database, were analyzed with the VOSviewer software. As a result of the research, it is noteworthy that the articles on leadership, which have spread to many disciplines in Turkey, are mostly carried out in the field of "education". Besides, it is seen that leadership studies have increased numerically since 2004 and a knowledge explosion has been experienced by 2020. On the other hand, it has been determined that the most studied leadership type is "transformational leadership". Based on these results, it was suggested to the researchers that they could focus on different dimensions of leadership by using the bibliometric method and do a similar study periodically. Furthermore, It is expected that the research will guide researchers working on leadership, especially regarding author collaboration, topic and journal selection.

Türkiye'de “Liderlik” Çalışmaları (1983 - 2021): Bibliyometrik Bir Analiz

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’de liderliği konu edinen makaleleri bibliyometrik yöntem ile analiz etmek ve incelemektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, Web of Science (WoS) veri tabanı kullanılarak 1983 - 2021 yılları arasında yayınlanan 894 makale, VOSviewer yazılımı ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, Türkiye’de birçok disipline yayılmış olan liderlik makalelerinin en çok “eğitim” alanında gerçekleştirilmiş olması dikkat çekmektedir. Bununla birlikte, liderlik çalışmalarının 2004 yılından sonra sayısal olarak sürekli arttığı ve 2020 yılına gelindiğinde ise bir bilgi patlaması yaşandığı görülmektedir. Diğer yandan, en çok çalışılan liderlik türünün ise “dönüşümcü liderlik” olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu sonuçlara dayalı olarak araştırmacılara bibliyometrik yöntem kullanılarak liderliğin farklı boyutlarına odaklanabilecekleri ve benzer bir çalışmayı belirli periyotlarla yapabilecekleri önerilmiştir. Çalışmanın ayrıca liderlik konusunda çalışma yapan araştırmacılara özellikle yazar iş birliği, konu ve dergi seçiminde yol göstermesi beklenmektedir.
