This study aims to examine the development of research on the role of information and communication technology in enhancing work creativity through transformational leadership among Generation X and Y employees using bibliometric approach with computational mapping analysis VOSviewer. The article data was obtained from the Google Scholar database using publish or perish reference manager application. The titles and abstract of the articles were used to guide the search process by referring to the keyword "Transformational Leadership". 957 articles were found that were considered relevant. The study period used as the study material is the Google Scholar indexed articles for the last 5 years (2018 to 2023).

The term "Communication" has 35 links with a total link strength of 81 and the term "Creativity" has 49 links with a total link strength of 125. Results of the analysis of the role of information and communication technology in increasing work creativity through transformational leadership research in the last 5 years show quite frequent fluctuations. The number of studies declined from 176 in 2018 to 153 in 2019. Following that, it witnessed another severe fall in the last three years, with as many as 191 articles in 2021, 165 articles in 2022, and 51 pieces in 2023. We determined how many articles have been published on the role of information and communication technology in increasing work creativity through transformational leadership and its relation to problem areas using VOSviewer.
