Abstract

Rekabetin küresel boyutta yaşanması, teknolojik gelişmelerdeki hız, işgücü profilinde ve iş yapış şekillerinde meydana gelen değişimler, piyasaları etkileyen öngörülemeyen unsurların sayısındaki artış gibi çeşitli nedenler, örgütler ve çalışanlar açısından çeviklik konusunu önemli hale getirmektedir. Bu bağlamda, giderek daha fazla araştırmacı ve uygulamacının ilgisini cezbeden işgücü çevikliği alanındaki literatürün genel durumunu ortaya koymak ve alanın bilimsel gelişimi hakkında değerlendirme yapmak çalışmanın temel amacıdır. Bu amaçla Scopus veri tabanı üzerinden ulaşılan 52 makale bibliyografik analize tabi tutulmuş; araştırma sorularına cevap ararken performans analizi ve bilimsel alan haritalama tekniklerinden yararlanılmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarında, çeşitli disiplinlerin alana katkı sağladığı görülmektedir. Alanın nasıl bir gelişme gösterdiğinin belirlenmesi için elde edilen sonuçlar, işgücü çevikliği literatürünün 2002-2017 ile 2018-2022 yılları arasında iki ayrı dönemde incelenebileceğini göstermektedir. Ayrıca, araştırmaların ikinci dönemden itibaren artış göstermekte olduğu ve alanın, bireysel faktörlere ağırlık verme yönünde bir gelişme gösterdiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Bibliometric Analysis of the Literature on Workforce Agility

Abstract

Various reasons such as the global scale of competition, the speed of technological developments, changes in the workforce profile and business practices, the increase in the number of unpredictable factors affecting the markets make the issue of agility important for organizations and employees. In this context, the main purpose of the study is to reveal the general state of the literature in the field of workforce agility, which attracts the attention of more and more researchers and practitioners, and to assess the scientific development of the field. For this purpose, 52 articles accessed through the Scopus database are subjected to bibliographic analysis; performance analysis and scientific field mapping techniques are used while searching for answers to research questions. In the results of the analysis, it is seen that various disciplines contribute to the field. The results obtained to determine how the field is developing indicate that the workforce agility literature can be examined in two separate periods 2002-2017 and 2018-2022. In addition, it is concluded that the number of researches has been increasing since the second period and that the field has shown an improvement in the direction of focusing on individual factors.
