Bibliometric Analysis of Workplace Violence Studies

Abstract

The increasing workplace violence in the production and service sector causes remarkable negativities for the working life. Various dimensions of workplace violence that employees are exposed to, mostly under intense and risky conditions, take place especially in recent studies. The aim of the present study is to determine the main themes existing in the literature on "workplace violence" and to lay a foundation that will contribute to future research orientations towards this concept in business life. For this purpose, 1393 articles in the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection database were included in the scope of the research. R and VOSviewer software were used for the study performed with bibliometric analysis method. Within the scope of the study, comparative findings of 27 years of English data scanned on the WoS base from 1994, when articles on "workplace violence" began to take place, were included. The first 5 articles with the most citations in the analysis are between 1996-2005. It is seen that 75% of the journal types dealing with workplace violence are related to the field of health. Countries with the most studies on “workplace violence”; USA, China, Australia, Canada, Italy and Turkey. When the citation power and citation networks of the articles written by the countries are examined, it is seen that the USA takes the first place with 9338 citations and 3573 connection power. As a result of the study, it has been revealed that scientific publications on workplace violence have increased in terms of diversity and interaction.
