Human resource management and performance in Ibero-America: Bibliometric analysis of scientific production

Abstract

For years, human resources management has been considered a relevant factor to improve the levels of performance and competitiveness of organizations. Therefore, it has increasingly captured the attention of researchers at a global level. This paper aims to analyze such context in Ibero-America from a bibliometric perspective – the construction of knowledge in the field of human resources management and organizational performance. With that purpose, articles published in the main collection of Web of Science between the years 2010-2020 are analyzed with the help of Bibliometrix and VOSviewer. The results show that Spanish, Brazilian, and Portuguese researchers are the most productive of the group, and that Brazilians are equally the most influential. Likewise, there is a low participation of Latin American authors in prestigious international journals, and little cooperation with the most prestigious universities worldwide. The paper concludes that, in general, when compared to global production, Ibero-American production is still marginal, pointing to a challenge for these authors, especially for Latin Americans. This is a pioneering study, the first attempting to characterize Ibero-American scientific production in the field of human resources management and organizational performance.

Sustainable Development Goals and Education: A Bibliometric Review—The Case of Latin America

“…Furthermore, in sustainability, it is imperative "to integrate the collaborative and multidisciplinary view, in order to accumulate useful and different sources of knowledge to achieve interesting results" [57] (p. 12). For this reason, a call is made to the rest of the Latin American countries to expand their networks and therefore become more recognized, thereby increasing their influence at the global level and having a more profound impact on academia [58].…”

Mapping mentee outcomes in mentoring programs for managers

“…This alignment will make them more valuable to their company and thus increase the possibilities of their professional and economic progression (Hendarman and Cantner, 2018). From this same theoretical approach, HR managers want their organizations to have managers who possess the skills required by their companies (Pedraja-Rejas et al , 2022); mentoring can be an excellent option to achieve these management competencies (Turner et al , 2018).…”

Análisis global de la producción científica respecto del aprendizaje organizacional en la educación superior

“…Al analizar las metodologías que utilizaron los autores en sus trabajos, se descubrió que casi un 47,0 % prefería las técnicas cualitativas. Esto puede ser explicado porque este campo de estudio es aún emergente, por lo que, al utilizar este método, se busca explorar y formular nuevas teorías y modelos para comprender mejor esta temática (Pedraja-Rejas et al, 2022).…”
