Abstract :
This study explores the rapidly expanding research domain of leadership in the volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) environment through a comprehensive bibliometric review. A bibliometric review was conducted, analyzing annual publications, key sources, country collaborations, and keyword co-occurrence to map the growth and focus areas of research on leadership in VUCA environments. The analysis reveals a notable increase in publications from 2020, peaking in 2023. Leading contributors include the United States and India, with diverse sources covering agile management, business resilience, and educational leadership. Network visualization shows robust global collaboration, particularly between the United States and the United Kingdom. Keyword analysis identifies key themes such as digital transformation, agile leadership, and emotional intelligence. This study emphasizes the growing need for adaptive and innovative leadership strategies to address the complexities and uncertainties of the modern global landscape.
