<![CDATA[This study aims to conduct a systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis on Transformational Leadership (TL), based on empirical research. Despite extensive studies on TL in recent decades, comprehensive research remains limited. The methodology used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of articles containing “Transformational Leadership” in the title, abstract, or keywords, sourced from the Scopus database, which yielded 1,297 publications from 1977 to 2025. The data were analyzed using VOSviewer software. The findings suggest that TL is an innovative model in vocational education, bridging industrial systems with academic environments for authentic, practice-based learning. However, challenges include limited resources, insufficient instructor training, and inadequate institutional support. Recent innovations, such as advanced ICT, holographic technology for real-time interaction, and digital twins for process optimization, have enhanced the model's effectiveness. The study also discusses the conceptual framework of TL. This research uses the Scopus database, and future studies could broaden its scope by incorporating other databases like Web of Science. Practically, the study’s findings suggest integrating modern pedagogical strategies, including gamification, simulation, and project-based learning, to enhance student engagement and understanding of manufacturing processes. Socially, it encourages educational institutions to invest in infrastructure, strengthen industry partnerships, and provide continuous instructor training. This study highlights the growing global research on TL and calls for deeper exploration of the topic in existing literature.]]>
