Work-family conflict arises when a person encounters expectations that are incompatible with their family and work responsibilities, making it harder for them to fulfil both tasks. As a result of this imbalance, there is conflict between work and family life.

Objectives: The current study examines the development of research on the topics of telework and work-family conflict as well as the science mapping of already published articles between the years 1992 to 2023.

Methodology: The VOS-viewer tool and Scopus analysis are used to undertake a bibliometric analysis of the biographies of papers published in telework and work-family conflict. From the Scopus database, 281 papers were retrieved and used for analysis.

Findings: The results revealed exponential growth in current trends, leading journals, top authors, top articles and significant co-words, keywords, and so on, followed by comprehensive science mapping analysis.

Limitations and implications: The focus of the literature review is limited to the social science field. However, analysts may include additional domains in future studies. Furthermore, future researchers may also target other databases, such as the Web of Science, or combine data from Scopus and the Web of Science in their studies.

Abstract


Work-family conflict arises when a person encounters expectations that are incompatible with their family and work responsibilities, making it harder for them to fulfil both tasks. As a result of this imbalance, there is conflict between work and family life.

Objectives: The current study examines the development of research on the topics of telework and work-family conflict as well as the science mapping of already published articles between the years 1992 to 2023.

Methodology: The VOS-viewer tool and Scopus analysis are used to undertake a bibliometric analysis of the biographies of papers published in telework and work-family conflict. From the Scopus database, 281 papers were retrieved and used for analysis.

Findings: The results revealed exponential growth in current trends, leading journals, top authors, top articles and significant co-words, keywords, and so on, followed by comprehensive science mapping analysis.

Limitations and implications: The focus of the literature review is limited to the social science field. However, analysts may include additional domains in future studies. Furthermore, future researchers may also target other databases, such as the Web of Science, or combine data from Scopus and the Web of Science in their studies.
