Günümüzün karmaşık iş dünyasında, örgütler içindeki paradoksların varlığı giderek daha belirgin hale gelmiş ve araştırmacılar arasında paradoksal liderlik kavramına olan ilgi artmıştır. Bu sistematik incelemenin amacı, paradoksal liderlik üzerine temel araştırma akımlarını belirlemek, literatürde yaygın olarak kullanılan metodolojileri ve bağlamları incelemek, mevcut bilgi boşluklarını belirlemek ve bu boşlukları gidermeye yönelik stratejiler önererek gelecekteki araştırmalar için uygun öneriler sunmaktır. Bu çalışmada metodoloji olarak sistematik bir inceleme yaklaşımı benimsenmiştir. Bu bağlamda, 1986-2024 yılları arasında paradoksal liderlik üzerine yayınlanmış toplam 100 makale sistematik olarak incelenmiştir. Paradoksal bir lider için olmazsa olmaz kabul edilen özelliklerin genellikle öncül olarak kabul edildiği belirlenmiştir. Ağırlıklı olarak incelenen sonuç değişkenleri arasında yenilikçi ve yaratıcı davranışlar ile yenilikçi performans yer almaktadır. Son çalışmalar, paradoksal liderliğin olumsuz yönlerini kabul ederek, karmaşık yapısının daha kapsamlı bir şekilde anlaşılması ihtiyacını vurgulamaktadır.

In the contemporary complex business world, the presence of paradoxes within organizations has become increasingly salient, leading to a heightened interest in the concept of paradoxical leadership among researchers. The objective of this systematic review was to delineate the primary research streams on paradoxical leadership, to examine the methodologies and contexts commonly used in the literature, and to identify current knowledge gaps, as well as to propose strategies for addressing these gaps, thereby offering appropriate recommendations for future research. This study adopted a systematic review approach for its methodology. Within this context, a total of 100 articles published on paradoxical leadership between 1986 and 2024 have been systematically examined. It has been determined the characteristics deemed essential for a paradoxical leader are generally considered as premises. The outcome variables predominantly examined include innovative and creative behaviors, as well as innovative performance. Recent studies have acknowledged the negative aspects of paradoxical leadership, highlighting the need for a more comprehensive understanding of its complex nature.
