Abstract

The present study seeks to perform a bibliometric examination of global publications on diversity management from 1990 to 2023. The objective is to scrutinize advancements in the field and present prospective researchers with fresh avenues for exploration. A total of 15727 records were found in the Wos database in all languages and by the topic of all types of publications in which the keywords "diversity management", "relational demography", "demographic diversity", "workforce diversity", "cultural diversity" and "workgroup diversity" were mentioned in articles published between 1990 and November 2023. Then, with the restrictions applied, 3555 articles were subjected to Citation, Bibliographic Coupling and co-citation analyses. The VOSviewer software package (Version1.6.9) was used to create bibliometric maps and networks. 2020 was the year in which the most articles were published with 277 articles. The study identified Syed Jawa as the most productive author in diversity management research, with "Equality Diversity and Inclusion" as the most productive journal, and "cultural diversity", "diversity" and "diversity management" as the most frequently used keywords. The articles by Vertovec(2007), Jehn(1999), and Harrison(1998) stand out as the three most impactful in relation to citation count. Five clusters were identified according to the citation analysis. Developed countries were found to be the most influential in diversity management research. This study adds to the existing body of literature by offering an extensive bibliometric evaluation of diversity management studies. The focus is on identifying the most productive articles, authors, journals, institutions, sponsors, and countries, while also conducting keyword analysis.
