This study aims to investigate the patterns observed in previous research conducted in the realm of Empowering Leadership with regards to theories, themes, approaches, and situations. This study employed a systematic literature review in conjunction with the Scopus database. Articles published between the years 2011 and 2022 were selected. This study utilized systematic data to discern patterns in burgeoning marketplaces and qualitative inductive analysis to ascertain relevant topics within the subject matter. We conducted an analysis of the profile of global publications on the topic of blended learning in the fields of management and business, spanning the years 2017 to 2023. We have determined the precise details of the publication, including the time, individuals involved, location, and the specific content that was released on the topic. Furthermore, we have specifically highlighted the writers and journals that have had the most significant influence, as determined by the h-index and Cite Score (Scopus). Additionally, we have thoroughly examined the collaborative efforts between different nations. The findings demonstrate that four study themes have been created, signifying possible exploratory and exploitative research areas. This study seeks to address the research void by undertaking a comprehensive systematic literature evaluation pertaining to Empowering Leadership.
