On The Meaning and Context of Green Workplaces: A Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract

The social, environmental, and economic transformation within contemporary sustainable development goals necessitates the redefinition of the existing notion of the work environment as a green workplace. The notion of a green workplace is prevalent in the literature, signifying the resolution of environmental issues. Nonetheless, the interpretation of green thinking and its implementations may vary. This situation suggests that organizational change and transformation are based on human factors, warranting an examination of business and management literature and the significant roles organizations play in change. To elucidate the overall appearance and evolution of the concept, data was taken from the Web of Science database, and a bibliometric analysis was conducted using the R program. The analysis of the green workplace concept across several disciplines may complicate the tracking of the field's current position, its deficiencies, and its progression. The bibliometric analysis facilitated the classification of existing knowledge, enabling a systematic examination of the management literature. This study seeks to elucidate the context of green thinking and its correlation with sustainability, offering a comprehensive perspective to researchers and practitioners in management through data visualization.

“Yeşil İşyeri” Kavramının Anlamı ve Bağlamı Üzerine: Bibliyometrik Bir Analiz

Abstract

Günümüzün sürdürülebilirlik kalkınma hedefleri ve bağlamında yer alan sosyal, çevresel ve ekonomik dönüşüm, mevcut çalışma ortamı kavramının yeşil işyeri olarak yeniden şekillendirme ihtiyacını ortaya çıkarmıştır. Yeşil işyeri kavramı literatürde oldukça ön plana çıkmakla birlikte, anlamı itibariyle çevresel sorunların üstesinden gelmeyi çağrıştırmaktadır. Ancak, yeşil düşüncenin anlamı ve yeşilin uygulamaları farklılaşabilmektedir. Bu durumda, örgütsel düzeydeki değişim ve dönüşümün insan merkezli olduğu düşüncesiyle işletme ve yönetim literatürü ve örgütlerin değişimdeki önem arz eden rolleri incelenmeye değer bulunmaktadır. Kavramın genel görünümü ve evrimini daha net ortaya koymak adına Web of Science veri tabanın veri çekilerek R programında bibliyometrik analiz yapılmıştır. Yeşil işyeri kavramının farklı disiplinlerde incelenmesi durumu alanın mevcut durumunu, boşluklarını ve evrimini takip etmede zorluklar yaratabilmektedir. Bibliyometrik analiz ile mevcut bilgi sınıflandırılmış ve yönetim literatüründeki bilgi birikimini sistematik bir biçimde analiz edebilmek mümkün olmuştur. Bu çalışma, yeşil düşünce bağlamında ve sürdürülebilirlik ile ilişkisini ortaya koymayı ve elde edilen verileri görselleştirerek yönetim alanındaki araştırmacı ve uygulayıcılara bütüncül bir bakış açısı sunmayı hedeflemektedir.
