The outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic in late 2019 has had a significant impact on how organisations operate. Workers are permitted to work from home hence forcing leaders to change their leadership style in order to manage their teams virtually. Leadership via virtual setting is indeed more challenging as compared to the normal face-to-face setting. As technology continues to emerge rapidly, the notion of leadership must also follow suit. Hence, the paradigm of e-leadership is vital. To discover the field of e-leadership comprehensively, it is essential to examine and understand the trends ever since it first started in the year 2000. This study aims to review and report on published e-leadership documents based on data collected from the Scopus database. In total, 219 documents are retrieved from the database as of 27th December 2022. This study employed standard bibliometric indicators and uses tools such as Harzing’s Publish and Perish software, VOSviewer, and Microsoft Excel to analyse the data. The findings indicate that the production rate of e-leadership literature is relatively slow from 2000 to 2010 and the number of publications continues to fluctuate ever since then. However, the study on e-leadership gained scholar attention again starting in the year 2020 and is expected to prosper in the years ahead.
