Systematic literature review of human–machine collaboration in organizations using bibliometric analysis

Purpose This study aims to systematically map the state of work on human–machine collaboration in organizations using bibliometric analysis. Design/methodology/approach The authors used a systematic literature review to survey 111 articles on human–machine collaboration published in leading journals to categorize the theories used and to construct a framework of human–machine collaboration in organizations. A bibliometric analysis is applied to statistically evaluate the published materials and measure the influence of the publications using co-citation, coupling and keyword analyses. Findings The results inform that the research on human–machine collaboration in the organizational field is targeted at four aspects: performance, innovation, human resource management and information technology (IT). Originality/value This work is the first exploratory piece to assess the extent and depth of research on human–machine collaboration.
