Area of Science:

  • Positive Organizational Psychology (POP) is a research field examining optimal functioning and well-being in the workplace.
  • It encompasses multidisciplinary interests, with significant contributions from psychology, business, and economics.

Background:

  • Despite a substantial publication record, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of Positive Organizational Psychology (POP) has been lacking.
  • Understanding the field's structure, evolution, and knowledge distribution is crucial for its advancement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a retrospective bibliometric analysis and science mapping of Positive Organizational Psychology (POP) research.
  • To identify the high-level structure, historical development, and knowledge dissemination patterns within POP.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 7181 articles published in POP, sourced from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC).
  • Extracted data included titles, authors, institutions, countries, journals, keywords, publication year, and citations.
  • Utilized Journal Citation Reports (JCR) for impact factor and quartile data, and applied bibliometric laws (e.g., Bradford's law).

Main Results:

  • The field spans over 100 years, characterized by three distinct productivity and visibility stages, with a recent decline in visibility.
  • Research demonstrates multidisciplinary and international engagement, with the United States, United Kingdom, and Netherlands as leading countries.
  • Key research themes identified include well-being at work, positive leadership, work engagement, and psychological capital.

Conclusions:

  • Positive Organizational Psychology (POP) is a mature field with a rich history and established core topics.
  • The identified decrease in visibility warrants further investigation into current trends and future research directions.
  • The study provides a foundational overview for researchers and practitioners in POP.
