Abstract
The goal of the current research is to study the research process around the concept of leadership and leadership style, using the method of analysis and Scientometrics mapping. This research is descriptive-analytical and has been carried out with a Scientometrics approach. The tool of data collection was the databases resulting from searching and cataloging, and the method of analysis was scientific tools and maps using R software. The number of reviewed articles is 2178 published in the Web of Science database between 1992 and 2022. The extracted articles were classified into six clusters based on the clustering method of bibliographic pairs. The naming of the clusters was done based on the important parameters of the frequent keywords of each, and based on this, clusters one to six, which were sorted based on the average age of the articles, were named "leadership styles based on growth and learning", "leadership styles based on The general roles of the leader", "leadership styles based on power distribution", "leadership styles based on the welfare of followers", "leadership styles based on ethics" and "leadership styles based on unethical pro-organizational behaviors" were named.
