Abstract

Purpose - This study aims to map the global research landscape on employee well-being over the period 2016–2025 using bibliometric analysis. Design/ Methodology/ Approach - A total of 613 documents indexed in Scopus were analyzed using [email protected], Biblioshiny and VOSviewer. Findings - The findings reveal a significant growth trend in publications, indicating increasing scholarly attention to employee well-being as a strategic organizational issue. The results highlight the dominance of themes such as job satisfaction, work engagement, and burnout, supported by theoretical frameworks like the Job Demands Resources (JD-R) model. The analysis also identifies leading authors, institutions, countries, and journals contributing to the field. Furthermore, emerging themes such as mental health, digital work, and post-pandemic workplace dynamics indicate future research directions. Research limitations/implications – The database used only focuses on Scopus. Originality/ value – This study contributes to the literature by providing a comprehensive overview of the intellectual and thematic structure of employee well-being research and offers a future research agenda for scholars and practitioners.
