Abstract

This research aims to synthesise the literature on the work-life balance research landscape in higher education using bibliometric analysis. This study looks at past, current, and future work-life balance research in higher education. The documents are extracted from the Scopus database, and 640 papers are chosen using the PRISMA technique for bibliometric analysis. Citation analysis is performed to identify the most influential document and authors. The most prolific writers and sources are identified using productivity analysis. The four thematic clusters of work-life balance research in higher education are discovered using bibliographic coupling. Co-citation analysis is employed to identify citation patterns and highly referenced texts. Additionally, co-occurrence analysis is employed to create thematic trends, and word cloud highlights the frequently used keywords in academic work-life balance research. The articles outline the directions for further study.
