A Systematic Literature Review of Research on Human Resource Management and Work Performance

This article uses bibliometric analysis to review and expand the knowledge regarding human resource management, and work performance. The author examined the Web of Science (WOS) core collection database for articles. For a complete record, information is collected on the publication year, keywords, document type, journal, author, affiliations, country, abstracts, and the number of citations. The co-citation, co-occurrence, and publication patterns were analyzed using VOSviewer 1.6.19. The study comprised 94 papers (N = 94), of which 94% were original research articles and just 6% were review articles. The study adopted the bibliometric approach in mapping out the research focus on human resource management and work performance which has been given considerable attention recently. The article concludes by identifying the gaps in the literature and proposing future study possibilities.
