INTERNATIONAL PRODUCTION ON WORK ENGAGEMENT IN THE PERIOD 2011 TO 2020: A BIBLIOMETRIC STUDY

Abstract

The purpose of this article was to present scientific production on the topic engagement at work (EGT) with a view to identifying gaps in scientific production and highlighting its importance in the field of well-being at work. This is a descriptive study, with a quantitative approach to the data collected through bibliometrics, a technique for measuring the production and disseminating of scientific knowledge. To this end, searches were carried out on the Web of Science (WOS) from 2011 to 2020. The results demonstrate the existence of 2,797 published articles, with temporal distribution indicating a linear growth trend, with the article written by Christian, Garza and Slaughter (2011) being the most influential of the decade, and Arnold B. Bakker the most cited author. This research contributes towards presenting that despite the significant epistemological and methodological advances in the field, the supremacy of Bakker and his team suggests linearity with only one theoretical current.
