Innovation and Human Resources Motivation: A Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present a bibliometric overview of the academic research on the establishment of motivation and Human resources practices and their influence on innovation, which has gained a wide acceptance in the scientific community. This analysis uses two main approaches, namely performance analysis and scientific mapping. The first uses a range of bibliometric measures and indicators to assess the importance, impact and quality of publications in a particular field. While the second aims to complete the analysis of performance using techniques from a time perspective. We have included performance analysis and science mapping of the Human Resources Motivation Field using the R language and R-STUDIO software to map the bibliographic material. We firstly have compiled a list of 1513 articles selected from the Web of Science database. Then we identified the most global relevant documents in the field according to authors, journals, articles, institutions and countries. Based on the results obtained during the analysis of these articles, it turned out that research in the field of human resource management tends much more towards digitization and the use new technologies when it comes to its link with innovation. Our conclusion is that research in this field has made significant progress in the past five years, China is the country with the greatest influence in all aspects of this field. However, it is important to consider that science is constantly advancing in this field, and data will change rapidly over time. Therefore, this work plays an informative role, showing that most of the basic research on human resources motivation is in the business and management fields.     JEL Classification: O39 Paper type: Empirical research.The aim of this paper is to present a bibliometric overview of the academic research on the establishment of motivation and Human resources practices and their influence on innovation, which has gained a wide acceptance in the scientific community.
