“…(Alegbeleye and Kaufman, 2022)Furthermore, sectors tied closely with national identity like oil may have distinct sociocultural dynamics. Local indigenous expectations shape management styles in such strategic industries more acutely (Ngoc Khuong et al, 2022). Research is lacking on how sociocultural forces including paternalism and communalism moderate transformational leadership and high-performance work systems in Nigerian petroleum firms.…”

This study investigates the relationship between transformational work performance and organizational efficacy in selected Nigerian petroleum companies. It is anchored in transformational leadership theory and the high-performance work systems (HPWS) framework. Transformational leadership, pioneered by Burns and developed by Bass, emphasizes leaders' influence through idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration. The HPWS framework highlights HR practices that enhance employee skills, motivation, and opportunity, ultimately driving organizational performance. While existing literature on transformational leadership mainly focuses on Western contexts, this study seeks to address the gaps by examining its applicability in Nigeria's petroleum sector. Methodological limitations, organizational-level focus, and contextual specificity are identified as gaps in prior research. The study aims to investigate these relationships in Nigeria, considering sociocultural variations and employing a mixed-methods approach. Through structured interviews and questionnaire surveys, data were collected from 280 employees. The data analysis included regression analysis, correlation analysis, and reliability testing. Results indicate a significant positive relationship between transformational leadership dimensions and organizational efficacy. The study contributes to understanding the dynamics of transformational leadership and HPWS in a developing economy context, particularly within Nigeria's petroleum industry. Future research should explore these relationships further, considering contextual factors and employing longitudinal designs.

Leadership is recognized as playing a crucial role in the organization’s performance and success. As a result, the scientific literature on leadership has become quite extensive, making it difficult to identify and understand the current state of research. Most literature studies focus on a specific aspect of the field or a limited time frame, providing a fragmented view of the overall landscape. Therefore, this research aims to provide new insights into the current state of research through two studies. Using advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, the first study focuses on identifying emerging research trends in the field through a Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) model, providing insights into future areas of interest and investigation. The second study centers on analyzing consolidated research patterns through co-word and network analysis, shedding light on the connections and interrelationships between leadership research topics. By applying these techniques to a comprehensive dataset of 56,547 research papers gathered from Web of Science and Scopus, this study provides a detailed understanding of the current state of leadership research and identifies potential areas for future exploration. Five research trends were identified: (1) Leadership and Digital Transformation Research (LDTR); (2) Leadership and Organizational Performance Research (LOPR); (3) Educational Leadership Research (ELR); (4) Leadership Practices and Development Research (LPDR); and (5) Gender and Diversity Leadership Research (GDLR). Combining these five research trends with the consolidated research patterns identified, we propose several research directions identified for advancing leadership studies.

This review aims to present a systematic review of empirical research on transformational leadership (TL) and local government performance (LGP) to synthesize the fragmented knowledge and propose a unifying framework for future research. This research adopts a systematic literature review methodology. A total of 22 articles were reviewed after being filtered from 59 articles found through an exhaustive search of online databases: Scopus, Emerald Insight, Science Direct, JSTOR, Taylor and Francis, and Google Scholar. Inclusion criteria were peer-reviewed empirical studies published in English from 2012 to 2024. Exclusion criteria were articles that did not provide empirical results on the relationship between TL and LGP and were published older than 2012. A matrix table was developed to extract and organize information from the articles. The findings revealed three main vital themes. First, general organizational performance is the background most studied in the TL-LGP. Second, almost all studies use quantitative methods to analyze the data collected. Third, in general, the empirical results reported the influence of TL on LGP. A lot of background context still needs to be studied, and qualitative and mixed-method methods will be challenging for future research.
