Innovative work behaviour: the what, where, who, how and when

Purpose This study aims to analyse the current trends and set the future research agenda in employee-level innovative work behaviour (IWB) research. Design/methodology/approach A portfolio of 910 publications on IWB collected from the Scopus database was systematically analysed using different bibliometric techniques. Findings Based on the performance analysis and science mapping of innovative work behaviour research, the study identifies the most prolific sources of IWB publications and lists several future research directions. Originality/value This paper could serve as one-stop information that may facilitate transdisciplinary endeavours by assisting scholars and practitioners in identifying peer-recognised publications and scholarly communities.
