From all the articles, 75 were considered, being 22 theoretical and 53 empirical. The found results indicate mostly positive relation between IE and leadership aspects and performance. Throughout the texts, the main countries and continents and the periods in which the research occurred, the IE patterns, and the tests which were applied were highlighted.
