Jul 2026 · Revista Colombiana de Psicología · Vol 35, pp. 40-57 · 0 citations · 34 references

Abstract

This study presents an exploratory integrative review with bibliometric and textual analysis of scientific production inWork and Organizational Psychology (WOP) in Ibero-America between 2000 and 2024 period. A total of 461 articles from Scopus and Web of Science were analyzed, identifying thematic, methodological, and geographic trends, as well as the most frequently used instruments. Findings reveal a shift from personality-centered approaches to topics such as wellbeing, mental health, resilience, and inclusive leadership. Quantitative studies predominated (70%), and an increasing trend of international collaboration was observed. The vosviewer analysis identified four major thematic clusters, reflecting alignment with global trends highlighted by SIOP. The study concludes that wop research in Ibero-America has addressed contemporary challenges, although some gaps persist in regional coverage and critical topics such as gender equity, artificial intelligence, and job quality.
