Abstract
Purpose. The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive overview and identify important themes in the leadership skills literature regarding various influences of positive behavioral drivers over the last decade. This paper also provides recommendations regarding potential research areas. Methodology. This paper follows an eight-step systematic literature review process using PRISMA to rigorously identify relevant evidence in the Emerald Insight database over the past decade. Findings. The synthesis finds that the important theme of leadership skills with its derivatives, namely human skills, conceptual skills, and technical skills, in the literature has a positive impact on seventeen positive behavioral drivers during the past decade and also identified gaps in empirical research. Practical implications. Practitioners could utilize mind mapping in this paper to explore and maintain the concept of leadership skills in improving positive behavioral drivers in a sustainable manner. Originality. There has been no other research that comprehensively explores leadership skills and positive behavioral drivers through systematic literature review. This paper validates and presents a holistic idea of the focus of previous research so that it can be relied on in any recommendations for further research.
