| Resumo: | Using a bibliometric approach, this quantitative study collects and analyses 61 publications on Public Service Motivation and Leadership simultaneously, within the public administration field, published in Web of Knowledge/SSCI database until 2018. This article seeks to contribute to a better understanding of the topics by complementing conventional qualitative literature reviews.

Moreover, the transformational leadership research emerge from the results. Nevertheless, other leadership approaches are welcome, such as responsible leadership.
