In the last decade, world-class leadership as a new approach to improve the competitive advantage of organizations has attracted the attention of many researchers in different fields. Many articles have studied world-class leadership in organizational literature, especially strategic management and human resources. But so far, a comprehensive review of conceptual and empirical studies has not been done considering the basic characteristics and patterns of this competence and the factors affecting the effectiveness of global leadership. For this reason, in order to clarify the knowledge of this field - the competence of world-class leaders - its effectiveness and its role as an effective structure in the literature of management and organization, this research has comprehensively reviewed 68 conceptual and experimental studies from 2000 to 2022. It pursues two main goals: identifying different conceptualizations of competence of world-class leaders and factors affecting this concept in the field of management and organization. This descriptive study is a systematic literature review in terms of the implementation method. Identifying the concepts of "world-level leadership behaviors", "world-level leadership duties", "world-level leadership relationships", "world-level leadership style" and "external duties of world-level leadership" along with their dimensions are among the results of this research.
