A Bibliometric Exploration on Employees’ Perception of Organisational Ethics

This study explores employees’ perception of organisational ethics through quantitative bibliometric analysis of 1,088 scientific records from the Web of Science repository, covering research from 1990 to 2024. The analysis employs the scientific network tool VOSviewer 1.6.20 to visualise the research landscape, including author keyword co-occurrences, reference co-citations, and patterns of collective authorship, highlighting prominent research directions. Findings indicate frequent associations among keywords such as „Organisational Ethics”, „Ethical Climate”, and „Ethical Perceptions” among others. Assessment of cited references and co-authorship mapping reveals significant growth in research evolution and interdisciplinary collaboration, notably involving authors from the USA, China, and England. This approach deepens understanding of employees’ perception of organisational ethics by providing a quantitative perspective on research patterns, themes, and discourse advancement over time, benefiting academics and professionals studying ethical dimensions of organisational behaviour and management.
