A bibliometric review of technostress: Historical roots, evolution and central publications of a growing research field

While previous research has provided critical insights into the different perspectives, methods, and theories on technostress, there is no bibliometric review available that clarifies the evolution and structure of the field. We use three bibliometric methods to assess the body of 252 technostress publications until 2019: reference publication year spectroscopy, co-word analysis, and co-citation analysis. In doing so, we analyze how the technostress field has evolved over time, clarify the interconnected concepts forming the discourse, and identify the most influential works.
