Abstract

The transformation of business life has changed the expectations of both employees and organizations. While employees seek to fulfill their psychological well-being in addition to their material needs, organizations expect employees to adapt quickly to change, solve problems effectively, and handle multiple responsibilities. These mutual expectations have increased the importance of psychological resilience and psychological welfare. However, the rapid pace of scientific production has made it difficult to keep up with the current literature and maintain an objective perspective, potentially leading to superficial rather than in-depth research. This study aims to objectively reveal the current state of research on psychological resilience and welfare. A bibliometric analysis was conducted using R and R Studio software. The data were obtained from the Web of Science database on January 4, 2025, by filtering studies using the terms "business," "management," and "psychology." The final dataset includes 234 publications published between 1996 and 2025. These studies utilized 13,680 references and employed 804 unique keywords. The annual growth rate of publications on the topic was found to be 47.39%. It is expected that this study will contribute to a deeper understanding of the topic, help prevent redundant publications, and provide valuable insights into the conceptual development of psychological resilience and welfare, especially in today's context of dense academic output.

Özet

İş hayatının dönüşmesi, çalışanlar ve örgütler arasındaki beklentileri önemli ölçüde değiştirmiştir. Çalışanlar, maddi ihtiyaçlarının karşılanmasının yanı sıra psikolojik refahlarının da sağlanmasını beklerken; örgütler ise çalışanların değişime hızlı uyum sağlamasını, sorunlara etkili çözümler üretmesini ve çoklu görevleri yerine getirebilmesini talep etmektedir. Bu karşılıklı beklentiler, psikolojik dayanıklılık ve psikolojik refah kavramlarının önemini artırmıştır. Ancak bilimsel üretimin hızla artması, güncel literatürün takibini zorlaştırmakta ve araştırmalarda derinlikten uzak, yüzeysel çalışmaların ortaya çıkmasına yol açmaktadır. Bu çalışma, psikolojik dayanıklılık ve refah konularındaki mevcut araştırma durumunu nesnel bir biçimde ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmada bibliyometrik analiz yöntemi kullanılmış; analizler R ve R Studio programları aracılığıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma verileri, 4 Ocak 2025 tarihinde Web of Science veri tabanından “işletme”, “yönetim” ve “psikoloji” terimleri filtrelenerek elde edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak 1996–2025 yılları arasında yayımlanan toplam 234 yayın analiz edilmiştir. Bu çalışmalarda 13.680 kaynağa atıf yapılmış ve 804 farklı anahtar kelime kullanılmıştır. Konuya ilişkin yayınların yıllık artış oranı %47,39 olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu araştırmanın, yoğun akademik üretimin yaşandığı günümüzde konunun daha iyi anlaşılmasına katkı sağlayacağı, mükerrer çalışmaların önlenmesine yardımcı olacağı ve psikolojik dayanıklılık ile refah kavramlarına ilişkin derinlemesine değerlendirmeler yapılmasına zemin oluşturacağı düşünülmektedir.
