In this study—drawing on the resource-based view—the phenomenon of digital leadership, which plays a critical role in terms of the digital transformation and sustainability of digital economies, was examined thematically in 164 studies (spanning from 1989 to 2025) published in Web of Science (WOS). Accordingly, the aim of this study is to determine the prominent themes in the existing literature on digital leadership, which is one of the leadership styles that are vital for digital transformations and sustainable digital economies, and to determine whether these themes are relevant in Türkiye. First, the main themes that the relevant studies focused on were determined based on secondary data retrieved from WOS by using R (bibliometrix). The findings revealed that most of the studies were conducted in America, England, China, Germany, and Russia. Similarly, based on the secondary data, we determined that digital transformation, sustainability, performance, and innovation were trend themes. Managerial and further research directions, as well as future research directions, are also provided.
