20.500.12556/RUL-180011 A bibliometric review of sleep and work performance research up to 2023 This study systematically maps the research landscape on the relationship between sleep and work performance, identify- ing key intellectual foundations, thematic areas, and structural relationships. Using bibliometric methods, we analyzed 272 peer-reviewed articles retrieved from the Web of Science (WoS) database from inception through December 2023. Co-citation, co-occurrence, and bibliographic coupling analysis were conducted in VOSviewer software to identify domi- nant intellectual clusters, examine thematic linkages, and trace the field’s historical evolution. Three dominant themes emerged: the impact of sleep disorders, challenges posed by shift work, and effects of high-stress environments. Findings indicate a shift from primarily clinical concerns to broader organizational perspectives, increased methodological diversity, and growing recognition of sleep as a critical factor in employee health and productivity. Although the field has grown substantially, important gaps remain, such as limited attention to the role of wearable technologies, sleep stages, and the bidirectional nature of the sleep-performance relationship. The results highlight the need for longitudinal field studies and interdisciplinary approaches. Practically, the findings support workplace policies that promote sleep health through scheduling reforms, awareness initiatives, and targeted interventions, particularly for shift workers and those in high-stress professions, to enhance well-being, safety, and performance. sleep labour efficiency bibliometric analysis work performance bibliometric methods employee health employee well-being spanje delovna uspešnost bibliometrična analiza true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-02-27 16:45:55 2026-02-27 16:47:50 2026-02-28 04:43:37 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 22 str. iss. 4 Vol. 45 Feb. 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 331.3 1046-1310 10.1007/s12144-026-09035-3 266910211 s12144-026-09035-3.pdf s12144-026-09035-3.pdf 1 8DC32ED97BF759BD656459DA4B800304 f07ca7443481cb1373e09659c0847fd96ca672e61e2ad85cb7e59b5865e3e21c 46d670f4-13f3-11f1-a1ba-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=229025 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12144-026-09035-3 0 4a1db077-13f3-11f1-a1ba-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=229026 Ekonomska fakulteta 0 0 0
