Purpose

This study aims to investigate the intellectual structure of leadership research in the hospitality industry through citation, co-citation and heat map analysis.

Design/methodology/approach

Systematic bibliometric mapping was done using citation and co-citation analysis. This study covered journals from 1985 to 2020.

Findings

After reviewing 172 published articles with 10,276 citations, results identified five main clusters.

Practical implications

Hospitality managers can choose certain qualities (i.e. charisma, individualized consideration) or use servant leadership characteristics (i.e. selflessness) to direct employees toward more discretionary behavior.

Originality/value

Former holistic studies on leadership applied different approaches, such as review studies (i.e. systematic review and meta-analysis) or evaluative studies (e.g. productivity measures). It mainly focused on extending the understanding of different leadership types in tourism and hospitality. Nevertheless, relational studies (e.g. citation analysis, bibliographic analysis) remained untouched.

酒店和旅游领导力研究的知识结构

目的

本研究旨在通过引文、共引和热图分析来调查酒店业领导力研究的知识结构。

设计/方法/方法

使用引文和共引分析进行系统的文献计量映射。这项研究涵盖了 1985 年至 2020 年的期刊。

发现

在审查了 172 篇已发表的文章（引用次数为 10,276 次）后，结果确定了五个主要集群。

实际影响

酒店经理可以选择某些品质（即魅力、个性化考虑）或使用仆人式领导特征（即无私）来引导员工采取更自由的行为。

原创性/价值

以前关于领导力的整体研究采用了不同的方法，例如审查研究（即系统审查和荟萃分析）或评估研究（例如生产力测量）。它主要侧重于扩展对旅游和酒店业不同领导类型的理解。尽管如此，相关研究（例如引文分析、书目分析）仍然没有受到影响。
