Abstract:

The purpose of the paper was to answer the questions: Q1: Representatives of which fields of science conduct research on the issue of employee well-being? Q2: In what contexts do scientists consider employee well-being? Q3: What research topics constitute the potential for the development of research on employee well-being in the coming years? To answer the first question, some data obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection database and the share analyses available therein were applied. To answer the other two questions, a scientometric analysis was performed using the VOSviewer program. Author keywords such as co-occurance analysis and terms co-occurance analysis were used.

Based on the results obtained it was found that the issue of employee well-being was multidisciplinary in nature, and a particularly large number of publications on this subject were created in: psychology, medical sciences, management sciences, sociology and environmental sciences. The issue is analyzed primarily in the following contexts: modern technologies, sustainable development, green economy, health care system, employee support, organizational life, violence and the effects of a low level of well-being in employees.

Taking into account the main research areas: the essence of employee well-being, leadership, including leadership styles, human resource management, health care, green economy and sustainability, technology, migration problem, violence in the workplace, one can hypothesize that in the coming years the most interesting areas for scientists will be: human resource management and leadership styles, modern technologies, sustainable development and green economy, as well as migration problems.
