WITHDRAWN: Trends in Leadership Styles, Employee Engagement, and Employee Performance: A Comprehensive Review and Bibliometric Analysis Using Scopus and WOS Data (2010–2023)

Abstract

Purpose There has been growing interest in the impact of results that need to be more varied and conclusive. This article aims to comprehensively define employee performance, develop a holistic understanding of how employee engagement and leadership styles are related to employee performance, identify knowledge gaps, and propose a research direction for the future. Design/methodology/approach A methodical examination and bibliometric analysis were conducted on 52 articles about leadership styles, employee engagement, employee performance, and the obstacles and catalysts associated with these approaches. Findings Research focusing on these variables has expanded significantly over the past decade. A total of 52 articles were reviewed. The review shows that organisations could achieve enhanced employee performance through effective leadership and outstanding managerial commitment. These actions would realise a company's vision and enable it to achieve its goals. Research limitations/implications This paper is limited explicitly to examining academic articles sourced from online databases. Other literary sources, such as unpublished works, concept papers, and reviews, were excluded from the study. This literature review and bibliometric analysis highlight essential knowledge gaps that should be explored. Originality/value To the best of the authors' knowledge, this study represents the first attempt to conduct a bibliometric analysis of leadership styles, employee engagement, and employee performance. This research is an initial reference for scholars seeking insights into the correlation between leadership, employee engagement, and performance.
