This study aimed to explore the field of electronic leadership. In order to appreciate the extent to which e-leadership was discussed, a thorough analyses on selected book chapters, papers, thesis and professional journals spanning across 2000 to 2020 was conducted. A widespread review of the literature found a total of 35 articles mainly on e-leadership, virtual leadership, leading virtual teams, school ICT leadership. Findings shows that thorough studies on e-leadership are scarce and additional studies in e-leadership need to be done in the digital era. Recently due to the swift variations in work atmospheres caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, leadership has shifted from face-to-face to virtual contexts.
