20.500.12556/RUL-177923 From foundations to frontiers a 25-year bibliometric journey of job demands-resources theory This review focuses on overviewing research applying Job Demands–Resources (JD–R) theory. Previous reviews of research fields applying it have focused on its evolution, theoretical advancements and empirical validations over time. However, they have largely overlooked the broader bibliometric landscape, including the complex interconnections and theoretical influences among the extensive studies inspired by this theory. Our study contributes by presenting a comprehensive review of the development and current state of the field. We implemented three bibliometric techniques—co-citation, co-occurrence and bibliographic coupling—to map the intellectual structure and thematic evolution of JD-R research. Additionally, we interpreted the results using the invisible colleges framework, focusing on five distinct time frames (2001–2004, 2005–2009, 2010–2014, 2015–2020 and 2021–2024). This produced an in-depth map of the evolution of the field and its emerging research frontiers. By uncovering the complex connections between studies, our analysis highlights how JD-R theory has integrated diverse theoretical perspectives and shaped the broader discourse on work-related outcomes across contexts and levels of analysis. These findings offer a foundation for future research to build on the theory's strengths and address its unexplored avenues, underpinning its continued relevance and impact. personnel employment decision theory bibliometric analysis intellectual evolution job demands-resources theory research trends systematic literature review kadri zaposlovanje teorija odločitev true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-01-13 14:17:26 2026-01-13 14:17:31 2026-01-16 04:22:22 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 28 str. iss. 1, art. e70079 Vol. 99 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 331.108 0963-1798 10.1111/joop.70079 264523523 J_Occupat___Organ_Psyc_-_2026_-_Andolsek_-_From_foundations_to_frontiers__A_25‐year_bibliometric_journey_of_job_demands.pdf J_Occupat___Organ_Psyc_-_2026_-_Andolsek_-_From_foundations_to_frontiers__A_25‐year_bibliometric_journey_of_job_demands.pdf 1 701E46AB5335781CE315F797833AC541 55eb8a32d6266fe5266a2d1d4f6cce46051bfc13dc8cef244abf9f1740b9f3ef 7fb9e2a6-f213-11f0-bf92-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=225475 https://bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/joop.70079 0 0b58164c-f083-11f0-bf92-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=225358 Ekonomska fakulteta 0 0 0
