Abstract
The world is facing a new work environment due to COVID-19. This situation has brought about major changes in the operation of organizations, and the need and importance of new leadership is emerging, but there is a lack of research on new forms of leadership in academia as well as companies. This study aims to identify academic developments, along with analysis of research trends in the field through meta-analysis of E-leadership-related studies required for non-contact work environments, and to identify the direction and practical use of research in this field in the future. In particular, comprehensive meta-analysis among meta-analysis is a research method, that seeks to estimate with statistical power and precision, as much as possible by systematically synthesizing the results of many studies conducted in a specific field and drawing objective conclusions. In order to examine the trends of E-leadership from 2000, when E-leadership was first studied, to the present, this study focuses on 55 E-leadership studies published in academic journals, and identifies and summarizes the researcher (year), research topic, variables used, analysis types and characteristics, research methodology, limitations, published journals, and the importance and use of E-leadership research. The analysis shows that research on E-leadership has been in full swing since 2013, and since 2019, when COVID-19 was at its peak. Over the past 22 years, E-leadership has been published in a total of 46 journals, of which 4 journals have published duplicates and 42 journals have published one paper, confirming that E-leadership research is a field of interest in various academic fields, but it is not yet intensively studied in a specific field. As for research methodologies, 18 quantitative studies (32.7%) and 37 qualitative studies (67.3%) were conducted as qualitative studies, and two-thirds of the total 55 studies were qualitative studies. Through these studies, E-leadership has evolved over the past two decades in the realm of theory, research, and practice as a social impact process carried out through information technology to promote changes in organizational thinking, behavior, attitudes, and performance.
