Spatial and Temporal Distribution, Hotspot Distribution and Evolution Path of Flexible Working Arrangements Research: A Visual Analysis Based on the CiteSpace Knowledge Map

In the post-epidemic era, flexible working arrangements have received more and more attention from scholars, but no scholars have yet analyzed the research in the field of flexible working arrangements using visual measurement methods. In order to understand the progress of flexible working arrangements research more scientifically and intuitively, based on the literature on flexible working arrangements in the database of Web of Science Core Collection, CiteSpace software was used to visualize and analyze important scholars, countries and research institutions, research hotspots, and trends in the research field. The study found that: the research development in the field of flexible working arrangements shows a gradual upward trend, and the research has been more active after 2010; the existing research in the field of flexible working arrangements can be divided into five theme groups, and the research content mainly focuses on the dimensions of flexible working arrangements, employee behavior, and leader factors, and so on. Finally, future research directions are proposed based on the analysis of the flexible working arrangements knowledge map.
