As such, the purpose of present endeavour is to grasp a better understanding of the phenomena, by performing a scientific evolution analysis, in the business management research field. To navigate through significant number of publications and to visually present the current state of research, trends and future research directions, a sophisticated bibliometric analysis has been implemented. We opted to merge relevant findings from Scopus and Web of Science databases with the help of in-house developed R programming language code, enabled within RStudio. The collated results were further analysed with the help of VOSviewer software and revealed an intellectual distribution map and a geographical influence map in academic research on job crafting in busine ss and management.
