Abstract
This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric review of Sustainable IT Practices (SIP) in the context of employee workplace happiness, focusing on literature published between 2015 and 2024. Utilizing advanced bibliometric tools such as Bibliophagy and VOS viewer, the analysis captures key scientific trends, mapping the intellectual structure and thematic evolution of the field. The research evaluates metrics including annual scientific output, citation analysis, Lotka’s Law for author productivity, H-index for local influence, and the impact of core journals, authors, and institutions. Furthermore, it explores collaborative networks, country-wise contributions, and communication trends, offering insights into global research dynamics. Thematic mapping reveals critical clusters centered on cyber resilience, green IT infrastructure, digital well-being, and the role of sustainable digital environments in enhancing employee happiness and organizational transparency.
The study underscores the increasing relevance of SIP in fostering secure, efficient, and psychologically supportive digital workplaces. Despite its strengths, the study is constrained by its exclusive reliance on the Dimensions database and English-language literature, potentially omitting key multilingual and non-indexed contributions. Additionally, the analysis excludes other document types such as conference papers and books, which may contain valuable insights.
Future research is encouraged to adopt a multi-database approach, integrating Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, alongside advanced visual analytics for broader and deeper mapping. Expanding linguistic and regional coverage will further enhance inclusivity and depth. This bibliometric exploration provides a foundational framework for scholars and practitioners seeking to advance sustainable digital strategies aligned with human-centric values in the evolving landscape of IT-enabled work environments.
