Özet
This study maps and synthesizes the intellectual structure of sustainability-oriented leadership research by examining how economic, environmental, and social performance dimensions are addressed across the literature. A cluster-based systematic literature review was conducted using data from the Scopus and Web of Science databases. The findings reveal a rapidly expanding research domain organized around three dominant clusters: organizational citizenship and knowledge sharing, green human resource management and employee behavior, and organizational resource management and dynamic capabilities. While environmental sustainability is extensively emphasized, social sustainability is predominantly conceptualized as a mediating mechanism, and economic performance outcomes remain unevenly integrated. By employing the triple bottom line framework as an interpretive lens, this study clarifies structural imbalances in the literature and provides a strategy-relevant foundation for advancing more integrative research on leadership and sustainable organizational performance.
