Given a dearth of comprehensive assessments, this study provided a quantitative and scientific analysis of 286 articles on spiritual leadership (SL) published in Scopus-indexed journals. Citation, cluster and co-citation analysis were employed to highlight the key works, sketch the intellectual framework and identify the research gaps. The most influential documents, journals, authors/researchers, countries and universities were also determined using citation analysis. Besides author co-citation and journal co-citation, analysis were also performed to determine the intellectual structure of SL literature, followed by a thorough review of authors' keywords utilizing cluster analysis. Keyword co-occurrence cluster analysis led to the identification of five major clusters/streams: (a) spiritual leadership and well-being; (b) spiritual leadership and other types of leadership; (c) spiritual leadership and creativity; (d) spiritual leadership and employee-level outcomes; (e) spiritual leadership, sustainability and spirituality. Future research directions were suggested within each identified cluster. This study will assist regulators and academic scholars in understanding the nuts and bolts of spiritual leadership and identifying areas that require more research.
鉴于缺乏全面的评估，本研究对Scopus索引期刊上发表的286篇关于精神领导力（SL）的文章进行了定量和科学分析。采用了引文分析、聚类分析和共引分析来突出关键著作、勾勒知识框架并识别研究空白。还通过引文分析确定了最具影响力的文献、期刊、作者/研究人员、国家和大学。除了作者共引和期刊共引分析外，还进行了分析以确定精神领导力文献的知识结构，随后利用聚类分析对作者关键词进行了全面审查。关键词共现聚类分析确定了五个主要聚类/流派：（a）精神领导力与幸福感；（b）精神领导力与其他类型的领导力；（c）精神领导力与创造力；（d）精神领导力与员工层面的成果；（e）精神领导力、可持续性与灵性。在每个确定的聚类中都提出了未来的研究方向。本研究将帮助监管机构和学术学者了解精神领导力的具体细节，并识别需要更多研究的领域。
