Abstract

The aim of the paper is to explore the female leadership in the hospitality industry, be-cause businesses within the hospitality sector should actively seek to attract skilled women, develop their potential as future leaders, and promote them to retain them in the organization over the long term.

The work is based on a bibliometric analysis of papers published on the Scopus platform in the period 1994-2023 and was conducted starting from an advanced search using the keywords 'women hospitality', 'hospitality leadership', 'female leadership' that are found in the title of the article, abstract or keywords.

The authors started from the research question: What is the situation regarding the specialized literature on female leadership in the hospitality industry? To answer this question, they proposed the following objectives: identifying the number of publications regarding female leadership in the hospitality industry, determining the evolution of the number of publications, establishing the most common types of published works and highlighting a bibliometric map regarding the countries with the most publications on this topic.

The analysis was conducted in August 2023 using Microsoft Excel for creating graphical representations and the VOS Viewer software to visualize connections among the representative keywords in the selected articles. The bibliometric analysis served as a rigorous and objective method to explore the body of knowledge available in the field of hospitality and female leadership.
