Abstract
This study aimed to identify main and promising research topics on women's leadership and refine publication policies for future studies. Using articles titled “women's leadership” from the Web of Science database, bibliometric analysis was conducted on 474 unique keywords across 189 articles. Findings revealed “leadership,” “gender,” “women,” and “gender diversity” as main research topics, with “gender diversity,” “intersectionality,” and “resilience” emerging as current themes. Scientific mapping categorized “leadership” and “women” as “Not Promising Research Topics,” “genders” as “Transition Research Topics,” and “Gender Diversity” as “Promising Research Topics.” The discussion, which outlines future research directions, holds the potential to inspire and motivate further research in the field of women's leadership studies.
