Abstract
The aim of this study is to offer a comprehensive overview of the research landscape on High Performance Work Systems (HPWS) within the manufacturing sector using bibliometric analysis. A total of 451 articles were retrieved from the Web of Science (WoS) database and were analysed through citation analysis, source evaluation, country level publication assessment, and keyword exploration. Research activity in this field has steadily grown since 2011, with the highest publication volume observed in 2020. China contributes the largest share of publications, followed by the United States and several other emerging and industrialised economies. This study examines HPWS related literature from 2005 to 2021 and utilised VOSviewer software to conduct scientific mapping. Keyword co-occurrence analysis is applied to identify emerging themes, while co-authorship and citation network analyses reveal patterns of scholarly collaboration and intellectual influence within the field.
