Abstract

This study presents a bibliometric analysis of publications on human capitaland job satisfaction indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection between 2019and 2024. Using bibliometric methods, we examine publication trends, citationimpact, keyword co-occurrence, and co-authorship networks. The resultsindicate an increasing number of publications, with highly cited studies shapingtheoretical advancements. Keyword analysis reveals dominant themes such aswork engagement, turnover intention, and employee motivation, while emergingtopics like remote work and workforce well-being highlight research gaps.The co-authorship analysis suggests fragmented collaboration networks, withlimited international partnerships in this domain. These findings underscorethe need for greater interdisciplinary and global research collaboration toenhance knowledge exchange. Given the critical role of human capital inorganizational success, our study emphasizes the implications for HumanResources (HR) management, particularly in talent retention, job design, andemployee well-being strategies. Strengthening HR policies based on evidencefrom these research trends can contribute to improved job satisfaction andorganizational performance.This study contributes to the academic field by providing an overview of existingresearch trends, identifying influential studies, and suggesting future researchdirections. The results can assist scholars, policymakers, HR professionals, andpractitioners in better understanding the dynamics of human capital and jobsatisfaction research.
