EXPLORING THE SCOPE OF DIVERSITY MANAGEMENT LITERATURE: A BIBLIOMETRIC REVIEW

Diversity management has become a focal point in organizational studies, driven by its perceived benefits in enhancing creativity, problem-solving and overall performance. This bibliometric review aims to analyse the landscape of diversity management research published between 2019 and 2023, utilizing Scopus as the data source. The objectives include identifying publication trends, authorship patterns and citation networks to offer insights into the field's evolution and current state. Additionally, the study conducts a qualitative analysis of the top 20 most cited papers to uncover key themes and contributions shaping the discourse. Methodologically, the review involves a systematic search in the Scopus database using the keywords "Diversity Management," yielding 403 documents from various sources including journals, books, and conference papers. Annual publication and citation metrics reveal a fluctuating trend in research output and impact over the specified period. Top contributing countries, institutions and authors are identified to highlight global and individual contributions to the field. Findings indicate a growing interest in diversity management globally, with notable variations in citation impact across different regions and publication types. Key themes extracted from the most cited papers include CEO commitment, workplace happiness, intersectionality, and the ethical dimensions of diversity management. The review underscores the interdisciplinary nature of diversity management research, integrating insights from organizational behaviour, human resource management, and ethics. By synthesizing quantitative bibliometric data with qualitative insights, this review offers a comprehensive overview of the diversity management literature, identifying gaps and suggesting future research directions. The findings contribute to advancing theoretical frameworks and practical strategies for fostering inclusive organizational environments in an increasingly diverse global workforce.
