Employee Well-Being Study: A Bibliometric Review of the Terms Well-Being and Mental Health

Abstract

 In today’s high-pressure work environment, employee well-being and mental health have emerged as critical issues affecting organizational productivity and sustainability. This article examines the development of literature on employee well-being and workplace mental health using a bibliometric approach, analyzing 60 Scopus-indexed articles published between 2020 and 2024. The analysis, conducted with VOSviewer and CiteSpace, identifies research trends, author collaborations, and dominant themes. Findings reveal a significant surge in attention to these issues, particularly after the COVID-19 pandemic, with a peak in publication and citation activity in 2021. Key influencing factors include Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices, leadership styles, organizational support, and cultural and religious contexts of different countries. This study highlights the need for holistic and context-specific organizational policies to foster healthy, supportive, and sustainable work environments.
