    AOM Website Description of Symposium:

    Although bibliometric methods have recently become popular in organizational behavior literature, not all are created equally. This symposium highlights best practices in applying bibliometric methods across three research fields: work motivation, self-leadership, and emotions in entrepreneurship. The first study, analyzing 28,498 documents on work motivation, uses historiography to reveal 20 distinct literature clusters and emergent themes. The second study traces the evolution of self-leadership, employing historiography and bibliographic coupling to uncover areas for advancing the topic. The third study delves into emotions in entrepreneurship, scrutinizing over 2,000 articles to outline the field's development and pinpoint trends like emotional intelligence and mindfulness. These studies exemplify how bibliometric methods provide deep insights into organizational behavior, offering symposium attendees a comprehensive understanding of these techniques for navigating and interpreting extensive research landscapes.
