Abstract

Purpose- The purpose of this research is to determine the course of HRM research studies conducted during the COVID 19 Pandemic period
by focusing on the author, country, citation, subject, etc.
Methodology- The research was carried out with the method of bibliometric analysis. The articles containing the subjects of COVID-19
Pandemic and HRM published in the Web of Science Core Collection database between 2020 and 2021 were examined within the scope of
the research.
Findings- As a result of the research conducted, it is observed that 206 publications covering the subjects of pandemic and HRM were made
between 2020-2021. These publications were included in 139 sources (journals, books, etc.), written by 1004 authors. Citation rate per article
was 6.019 and the collaboration index of authors was quite high (5.72). Moreover, it is found that the journal publishing the most articles on
HRM during the pandemic period was BMJ Open. The most relevant institution on the subject was Shanghai Jiao Tong University with 14
articles. The countries publishing the most articles were China, the USA and India, respectively, and the countries that received the most
citations per article were Brazil, Denmark and Kuwait. It is determined that the most cited article worldwide is Carnevale JB 2020 with 122
citations. In the keyword analysis of the author, it is revealed that the terms of COVID-19, human resource management, COVID-19 pandemic,
pandemic, coronavirus, crisis management, health policy, public health, human resource development and mental health are mostly used.
Conclusion- It is believed that the findings obtained as a result of the research will contribute to the literature. Carrying out the research
using a single database (Web of Science) constitutes an important limitation for the research.
