The field of dentistry is undergoing quick and dynamic changes, requiring the integration of digital technology and human resource management to ensure sustainable businesses. There is a growing need for leadership to enhance diversity and equality in the workplace. Leadership in diversity and equality significantly impact dental members’ satisfaction and performance. This qualitative study uses a systematic review utilizing reliable sources, including Google Scholar, Web of Science (WOS), and Scopus databases. The researchers gathered scholarly publications published between 2019 and 2024 through purposive sampling. The results demonstrate that enhancing human resource management (HRM) in leadership for dentistry can enhance ethical considerations and ensure a resilient dental workforce that embraces diversity and equality guided by leadership principles. The way to promote gender equality is to avoid words like “women’s leadership” or “men’s leadership” that reinforce gender stereotypes but suggest using leadership in diversity and equality that affect satisfaction and human resource performance. Leadership for diversity and quality has been a prominent topic of discussion to improve human resource satisfaction and performance in dental management settings and dentistry. It is suggested that questionnaires, interviews, or focus groups should be explored as methods to get more insights from participants for further studies. The findings could be applied to any company and organization, not only in dentistry and dental management settings.
