Abstract

This study was undertaken to review the scope of attribution theory in business and economics. This research used the Scopus database to retrieve the data relevant to attribution theory. The preliminary search starts with the extraction of data from Scopus database using the attribution theory in their titles, abstracts, or keywords: “attribution theory”, “or attribution theory”, “attribution”, and “the attribution theory”. The search restricted itself to all the studies carried out in the English language and in the field of business and economics only. It excluded all those studies on attribution theory that related to other domains of knowledge. Only data that were reported in published manuscripts were extracted. Total 614 documents were shortlisted for bibliometric analysis. This study uses the R-studio software and biblioshiny package to perform this analysis along with Vosviewer. Both the software are open access. These studies were contributed by 1365 authors worldwide. The researches from 1975 till 2023 were considered for this current study.
