abstract = {Purpose - The overall purpose of this critical review is to provide an overview of leadership
styles in the hospitality industry. It also demonstrates theories used in hospitality leadership
styles research, identifies the main outcomes, and highlights gaps for future research.
Design/methodology/approach – We present a comprehensive review of the 79 articles on
leadership styles in the hospitality context spanning over 13 years (2008–2020) and extend the
scope in distinctive means.
Findings – Our review has demonstrated that leadership styles research in hospitality has made
progress in the past 13 years; however, there are conceptual and empirical overlaps among
different leadership styles in hospitality. There is a lack of research on antecedents and
integrating theories in studies. Our review has revealed that several leadership styles have not
been rigorously examined in hospitality research with their outcomes.
Research limitations/implications – The search strategy used to find articles published in
WoS about leadership styles in hospitality was restricted to title to boost the accuracy of the
subsequent literature.
Practical implications – By following the guidance presented in this review, we expect to
advance and maintain hospitality leadership research to provide substantive insights into the
context of hospitality leadership over the coming years.
Originality/value – The current study is one of the first to undertake a comprehensive
understanding of various leadership styles in the hospitality context. We provide a
comprehensive projected research agenda to demonstrate theoretical discourses and empirical
research. Overall, our critical review presents a holistic idea of the focus of the prior studies
and what should be highlighted in future studies.},
