Abstract

This study conducted a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of human resource management practice (HRMPs) over the past two decades. By utilising 2,641 documents from the Scopus database, the research employed bibliometric tools such as performance analysis, co-citation analysis, bibliographic coupling, and scientific mapping. The investigation revealed that 2022 was the most prolific year, with 277 publications, and identified Abu Dhabi University as the most impactful institution and the UK as the leading country. The International Journal of Human Resource Management was acknowledged as the most influential journal, with the highest number of citations. The research identified seven thematic clusters within HRM practices, providing valuable insights for researchers and suggesting potential future research propositions in this domain. The originality of this study lies in its focus on performance and scientific mapping in a field with limited existing research, which contributes to an increased understanding of the current state and future propositions of HRM practices.
