Unveiling research patterns in employee engagement and performance: A bibliometric study

Bibliometric analysis is a quantitative method for examining scientific literature by focusing on its external characteristics.The aim of bibliometric analysis is to examine the steady development of research on employee engagement and performance from 2014-2023. Interest in employee engagement and performance has increased significantly since 2018.The Scopus database yielded a total of 181 papers related to employee engagement and employee performance. Several aspects of the bibliometric analysis were examined, including the total number of citations, the articles, and authors with many citations, the journals with the highest rates of citations, and the global networks of countries active in research. The study shows trends in the yearly growth of publications and the addition of essential keywords in the research domain. It provides information about prestigious academic journals, well-known writers, joint ventures, and countries that are engaged in employee engagement research. With respect to various scholarly works, this material serves to clarify the latest developments. This study provides valuable insights for future researchers since it expertly assesses and analyses the corpus of literature, identifies areas with gaps in knowledge, and proposes new directions for investigation. However, this study's applicability to a wider context is hindered by its exclusive focus on data extraction from a particular database . Although this is an extensive analysis, it does not address all potential perspectives. Future studies may also investigate a variety of other aspects, including organizational culture, leadership, employee motivation, employee voice, and the organizational environment that affect employee engagement.
