The past few decades have witnessed numerous crises that have drawn increasing attention to the study of crisis leadership. However, research in this field remains fragmented and existing reviews often adopt a subjective approach to identify and synthesize the findings of relevant articles. These limitations make it difficult for scholars to appreciate the progress made in the literature, to derive comprehensive and objective insights, and to forge a path ahead. This study synthesizes theoretical insights and empirical findings in the crisis leadership literature using bibliometric techniques. We first review the intellectual structure of the crisis leadership literature by conducting co-citation and bibliographic coupling analyses. We then map the major conceptual themes in the crisis leadership literature via a co-word analysis. To supplement the findings of the bibliometric analyses, we review the key methodological approaches adopted by crisis leadership researchers. Based on the integrative insights, we propose a research agenda highlighting opportunities for theoretical and methodological advancements in crisis leadership research.

过去几十年 见证了无数危机，这些危机引起了对危机领导力研究的越来越多的关注。然而，该领域的研究仍然是零散的，现有的评论往往采用主观方法来识别和综合相关文章的发现。这些限制使学者们难以欣赏文献中取得的进展，获得全面客观的见解，并开拓前进的道路。 本研究使用文献计量技术综合了危机领导文献中的理论见解和实证结果。我们首先通过进行共引和书目耦合分析来回顾危机领导文学的知识结构。然后，我们通过共词分析绘制了危机领导力文献中的主要概念主题。为了补充文献计量分析的结果，我们回顾了危机领导研究人员采用的关键方法论方法。基于综合见解，我们提出了一个研究议程，重点强调危机领导研究中理论和方法学进步的机会。
