Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis to reveal the status of human resource management (HRM) studies in Post-Soviet countries while exploring research trends and future directions. Methodology. We have used bibliometric analysis to examine a bibliometric data. Web of Science database was chosen because it ensures that the studies identifi ed for analysis are relevant to the fi eld. In total, 133 articles were selected for bibliometric analysis. The VOSviewer software tool was used to construct and visualize bibliometric networks. Overall, these methods provide a comprehensive and reliable picture of the state of research in the fi eld being studied. Originality / value of the research. This study is the fi rst bibliometric analysis of HRM in Post-Soviet countries research. It contributes to the literature by bringing HRM studies in Post-Soviet countries and revealing the current position of the inquiry by determining the most cited authors, articles, journals, and organizations. It also sheds light on the future directions in HRM research in Post-Soviet countries. Findings. The fi ndings revealed that the most frequently used keywords were Human resource management, Russia, hrm practices, and fi rm performance. Bjorkman et al. (2007) were the most cited authors and Minbayeva et al. (2003), Andreeva & Kianto (2012), Bjorkman et al. (2007) were the most cited documents in HRM in Post-Soviet countries. The study also revealed a focus on human resource management, performance, capitalism, model, and transition economies. Additionally, the study found a trend toward exploring the HRM practices in MNCs and knowledge management. If research in the fi eld of HRM was diligently conducted in Kazakhstan from post-Soviet countries in early 2010, then research on the practice of personnel management in Kyrgyz enterprises actively began to take turn from 2018.
