Sustainability, Green Human Resource Management and Work‐Life Balance: An Integrated Bibliometric Review Approach.

Abstract

Work‐life balance has become a key concern in modern workplaces, affecting both employee well‐being and long‐term organizational success. This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric review of work‐life balance and sustainable human resource management by analyzing scholarly literature from the Scopus and Web of Science databases between 2014 and 2023. Following the PRISMA protocol, 829 relevant articles were identified and analyzed using VOS viewer for co‐authorship networks, keyword co‐occurrences, and thematic cluster mapping. The analysis reveals publication trends, leading authors, and evolving research themes, highlighting the integration of sustainable HRM and employee well‐being practices. The findings demonstrate growing academic attention toward aligning HR strategies with sustainability and work‐life balance, offering a foundation for future interdisciplinary research and organizational policy development. This study offers fresh insights into how sustainable human resource management can improve employee satisfaction, productivity, and loyalty. It contributes to the ongoing conversation by mapping the research landscape and providing a strong foundation for future studies aimed at building a more sustainable and supportive workforce.
