Purpose Effectively handling knowledge is crucial for any organization to survive and prosper in the turbulent environments of the modern era. Leadership is a central element for knowledge creation, acquisition, utilization and integration processes. Based on these considerations, this study aims to offer an overview of the evolution of the literature regarding the knowledge management-leadership relationship published over the past 20 years. Design/methodology/approach A bibliometric analysis coupled with a systematic literature review were performed over a data set of 488 peer-reviewed articles published from 1990 to 2018. Findings The authors discovered the existence of four well-polarized clusters with the following thematic focusses: human and relational aspects, systematic and performance aspects, contextual and contingent aspects and cultural and learning aspects. The authors then investigated each thematic cluster by reviewing the most relevant contributions within them. Research limitations/implications Based on the bibliometric analysis and the systematic literature review, the authors developed an interpretative framework aimed at uncovering several promising and little explored research areas, thus suggesting an agenda for future knowledge management-leadership research. Some steps of the paper selection process may have been biased by the interpretation of the researcher. The authors addressed this concern by performing a multiple human subject reading process whose reliability was confirmed by a Krippendorf’s alpha coefficient value >0.80. Originality/value To the best knowledge, this is the first study to map, systematize and discuss the literature concerned to the topic of the knowledge management-leadership relationship.

“…An examination of the 'context' reveals variations of limited level of detailed description of the context. For example, Bhatnagar (2017) suggests that the complex cultural context of the Indian's firm is relevant to the impact the action research effort had within that specific context. Similarly, the work by Lund (2008) claims that the specific Danish cultural context within which the company emerged impacted the action research effort and the attempt to transform the company into a more innovative company, yet the reported study is short on details' depiction.…”

“…Ngwerume and Themessl-Huber (2010) describe four activity cycles of AR, while Canterino et al (2016) describe two and one half action research cycles in detail. Shani and Eberhardt (1987) present the details of the specific action research mechanism, its composition, and its dynamics, while Bhatnagar (2017) and Williander and Styhre (2006) elude to the action research mechanisms but provide little information about them. Much variation can be found in the reviewed studies about the emphasis and level of details that capture the action research process itself.…”

“…(continued) about the specific action research phases, activities, data collection methods, and data interpretation (such as Pasmore & Friedlander, 1982), some pay attention to the phases (Lund, 2008) and some tend to focus on the methods (such as Bhatnagar, 2017). Some tend to focus on the cycles (such as N€ aslund, Kale, & Paulraj, 2010), and yet, others tend to focus on the mechanisms (such as Shani & Eberhardt, 1987).…”

“…While some report on improved performance and productivity (Pasmore & Friedlander, 1982), process improvement (Canterino et al, 2016), and innovation (Lund, 2008), others focused on development of new capabilities for innovation (e.g. Kocher et al, 2011), leadership development (Bhatnagar, 2017), and new work processes (Shani & Eberhadt, 1987). What is surprising to us is the fact that while most discussed the practical outcomes for the firm, the discussion about the creation of new knowledge seems limited.…”

In the context of business and management, action research operates in the realm of strategies, practical tasks, and structured hierarchical organizational systems in diverse industries and across multiple business functions and disciplines. This article reflects on action research in generating actionable knowledge in this particular domain and shares the authors' perspective on future developments. The reflection explores a small number of action research studies undertaken across multiple fields and disciplines in business and management and advances distinct common denominators that can guide further research and action and aid future reflection. Through the mode of interiority, readers are invited to engage in a similar reflection on their assumptions, questions, and insights in coming to judgement about the state of the field and its future.
