Emotional Intelligence; Collaborative Leadership; Organizational Sustainability; InnovationAbstract
Organizational transformation in the digital era requires human resources who are not only technically competent, but also have high emotional and collaborative capabilities. This research aims to systematically examine the role of emotional intelligence and collaborative leadership in organizational sustainability. Using a systematic literature review approach of 45 international articles published in 2015-2025, this study identifies the relationship between individual emotional abilities, collaborative leadership styles, and the achievement of sustainable development goals in the context of human resource management (HRM). The results of the analysis show that emotional intelligence increases empathy, communication, and trust between members of the organization; While collaborative leadership encourages innovation and cross-functional participation that strengthens organizational sustainability. This study recommends a model that integrates emotional intelligence and collaborative leadership as a foundation to achieve innovative and sustainable organizations.
