Bibliometric Analysis of Studies on 'Burnout' in the Field of Social Work

Summary/Abstract: Burnout is a significant issue in the contemporary workplace, receiving considerable attention today. The human-centered nature of the social work field, combined with the presence of professionals managing intensive caseloads, increases the likelihood of encountering burnout. The aim of this study is to provide a general framework of research addressing the topic of “burnout” within the field of social work. To achieve this, a comprehensive search was conducted in the Web of Science (WoS) database up to December 31, 2024, from the earliest available records containing the terms “burnout” and “social work.” Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 926 research articles were selected for analysis, and the “Bibliometrix” package in R statistical software was employed for data analysis. The findings revealed that the topic of burnout is predominantly associated with concepts such as stress and job satisfaction. The most highly cited works are published in well-established journals in the field, and the majority of the publications originate from the United States. The findings, supported by visual representations within the systematic literature review, aim to provide a comprehensive framework for researchers planning to work in this area.
