Abstract: (105 Views) |
Background and aim: Given the numerous work challenges in the modern era, decent work has become increasingly important. This study aims to illustrate the trend of past research worldwide and provide solutions for future investigations into decent work, particularly in medical sciences.
Materials and methods: This study is a bibliometric analysis. An initial search was conducted in the Scopus database and 1586 articles were extracted. Then, based on the type of articles, related subfields, and language of writing of the articles, and limiting the published articles based on the search strategy and inclusion criteria, 505 articles from 1916 to 2024 were selected and statistical analysis was performed using VOSviewer and the Biblioshiny package in the R software platform.
Findings: Among the reviewed countries, the United States ranked first with 225 articles and 1407 citations, and the University of Florida led among research-supporting institutions in the field of decent work. This review also identifies top scientists and their areas of collaboration in this field. Furthermore, four main themes were identified through content analysis of the top ten articles: conceptualization and measurement, importance and relationship with other concepts, importance in healthcare organizations, and artificial intelligence.
Conclusion: The trends show that decent work is an interdisciplinary concept that has been considered in many fields, including medical sciences, due to its novelty. The results of the present study can help researchers identify the best countries, articles, and researchers regarding the subject matter and use the resulting experiences to achieve valuable and indigenous scientific productions in the field of decent work. |
