"COME ON TEAM, THE ENVIRONMENT NEEDS US! ARE YOU WITH ME?" RESEARCH ITINERARIES, SCENARIO AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS OF ENVIRONMENTALLY-SPECIFIC TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP

Environmentally specific transformational leadership (ESTL) fits into the emerging leadership styles in People Management and Organizational Behavior studies and has contributed to the construction of work environments dedicated to environmental issues. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the state of the art of international scientific production on ESTL, presenting a research agenda, through the identified gaps. For this, a systematic literature review was conducted, using the Web of Science database, in the time period 2013-2023. The 21 studies that made up the textual corpus of the review were analyzed using the R and RStudio software, using the Bibliometrix package, and the VOSviewer software. With this, the results revealed the profile of the publications and how the conceptual structure of the field is constituted, through the analysis of the thematic map (which classified the corpus into basic themes, motor themes, emerging or declining themes and niche themes). and bibliographic coupling, revealing studies on the subject and its relationship with green organizational characteristics (cluster 1) and with green human resource management (cluster 2). It should be noted that, as far as we know, this is the first study focused on systematizing the available knowledge around the theme, bringing contributions to the advancement of the field, in addition to signaling unexplored paths in the literature.
