maç: Dijital Taylorizm ve dijital sürdürülebilirlik kavramları, dijital dönüşüm süreçlerinde, özellikle de verimliliğin optimize edilmesi ve kaynak kullanımının en üst düzeye çıkarılmasıyla ilgili olarak, birbirini güçlendiren bir bağlantı sergiledikleri için çok önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Sürdürülebilirlik hedeflerine ulaşmak için kuruluşlar dijital teknolojilerden etkin bir şekilde faydalanırken bu girişimlerin çevresel, sosyal ve ekonomik yönlerini de dikkate almalıdır. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın amacı, dijital Taylorizm ve dijital sürdürülebilirlik kavramlarını kapsamlı bir şekilde tanımlamak, bu kavramların iş sektöründeki güncel geçerliliklerini araştırarak öneminin altını çizmektir.
Yöntem: Bu araştırmada, bilimsel verileri keşfetmek ve değerlendirmek için bibliyometrik analiz yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Web of Science veri tabanından elde edilen ve 2001 ile 2024 yıllarını kapsayan toplam 108 makale kapsamlı bir şekilde incelenmiş ve bulgular tablolar halinde sunulmuştur.
Bulgular: Analiz, son yıllarda araştırma faaliyetlerinde kayda değer bir artış olduğunu ve “Sürdürülebilirlik”, “Büyük Veri” ve “İş Etiği” dergilerinin, ağırlıklı olarak Almanya merkezli olmak üzere, bu alanda en üretken dergiler olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.
Özgünlük: Çok sayıda çalışma, atık yönetimi ve üretim süreçlerindeki gelişmeler dahil olmak üzere, dijital dönüşümün çevresel sürdürülebilirlik üzerindeki yararlı etkilerini vurgulamaktadır.

A Bibliometric Study on Digital Taylorism and Digital Sustainability

Öz

Objective: The concepts of digital Taylorism and digital sustainability play a crucial role in digital transformation processes, particularly in optimizing efficiency and maximizing resource utilization, as they exhibit a mutually reinforcing link. To achieve sustainability goals, organizations must effectively utilize digital technologies while also considering the environmental, social, and economic aspects of these initiatives. In this context, the aim of this study is to comprehensively define the concepts of digital Taylorism and digital sustainability, and to highlight their importance by investigating their current relevance in the business sector.
Method: This research uses bibliometric analysis to explore and evaluate scientific data. A total of 108 articles obtained from the Web of Science database, covering the years 2001 to 2024, were comprehensively examined, and the findings are presented in tables.
Findings: The analysis reveals a significant increase in research activity in recent years, with the journals "Sustainability," "Big Data," and "Business Ethics," predominantly based in Germany, being the most productive journals in this field.
Originality: Numerous studies highlight the beneficial effects of digital transformation on environmental sustainability, including improvements in waste management and production processes.
