Abstract

Introduction: Keeping a team united involves applying incentives to keep collaborators linked to the organization and following an effective communication process to influence people to achieve goals positively. This work aims to carry out a bibliometric analysis of transformational leadership to know the emerging lines of research.
Methods: The study is of a mixed type; it has a qualitative and a quantitative part. The qualitative part involves the review of publications and keywords in order to generate clusters related to current lines of research. The quantitative part is related to analyzing the trend of papers by year, by author, author affiliation, country, and area. 
Results: The author's mapping of the occurrence of keywords formed three clusters. The first cluster, identified with red, is related to "Transformative leadership." The second cluster, identified with green, is related to "Types of leadership." The third cluster, identified with the color blue, is related to the "Emotional intelligence of the leader."
Conclusions: This study opens a range of opportunities for developing other bibliometric studies and invites researchers to develop new projects that explore the identified lines of work related to Work Engagement, Green Transformational Leadership, Job Performance, and Psychological Empowerment.
