INNOVATIVE WORK BEHAVIOR: A BIBLIOMETRIC PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

This study aims to map the research landscape on Innovative Work Behavior (IWB) by conducting a bibliometric analysis using the Scopus database covering the period from 2015 to 2025. Employing VOSviewer software, revealing key trends and research directions in the field. The analysis shows that research on IWB is increasingly dynamic, with a focus on organizational factors such as leadership, knowledge sharing, employee engagement, and psychological capital. The clusters uncovered represent interconnected themes including transformational leadership, organizational culture, creativity, motivation to learn, human resource practices, innovation performance, and digital transformation. These clusters indicate the multidimensional nature of IWB and its relevance across different organizational contexts. The visual mapping provides insights into the co-occurrence of keywords, highlighting dominant themes and research gaps. This study contributes to the academic discourse by offering a systematic overview of the knowledge structure and development trajectory of IWB research over the past decade. The findings are valuable for researchers aiming to position future studies in underexplored areas and for practitioners seeking to enhance innovation through human resources and organizational strategies. This bibliometric review not only underscores the scholarly interest in IWB but also emphasizes its growing importance in achieving sustainable organizational performance in a rapidly changing business environment.
