Abstract

There is a growing awareness of the importance of paternalistic leadership and its impact on teachers’ professional development in China, yet there is a lack of information in the Web of Science (WoS) knowledge base. From bibliometric findings, contemporary studies between 2018-2022 in the web of science have found that the keywords and Boolean operators of “Paternalistic leadership in China” OR “Teachers’ professional development in China” are less trending and scarce. Bibliometric analysis using Vosviewer indicated the density, relatedness, name of authors, higher education institutions, and relevant journals that publish on these two key terms between 2018-2022. Subsequently, content analysis has highlighted that there is a lacking of research on paternalistic leadership in school contexts and that existing studies are carried out in the field of human resource management, particularly in business, health, and banking contexts. In aspects of conceptualization, it was highlighted that paternalistic leadership consists of three dimensions; mainly (a) benevolent leadership; (b) moral leadership; and (c) authoritarian leadership. Recent studies regarding the impact of paternalistic leadership on organizational development, organizational environment, and staff performance remain uncertain and challenged by scholars within and out of China. As an implication, future research should orientate between paternalistic leadership and teachers' professional development since there are indicators to hypothesize that paternalistic leadership might be crucial to teachers' professional development.
