The pain that occurs in individuals for various reasons affects all areas of a person's life. One of these areas is undoubtedly working life. The sense of compassion, which is a concept associated with pain, also gains importance at this point. Formation of compassion sense in working life will contribute to both the sufferer and the organization and will help make the process more effective. For this reason, it is thought that the issue of compassion in working life should be examined. In this context, the research aims to bibliometric analysis of published works on compassion in working life. A total of 502 publications obtained from the Scopus database according to various parameters through the R program were examined. According to the results of the research, the number of publications on the subject has increased in general, the United States is the pioneer in the number of publications, and the word compassion fatigue is the most commonly used keyword. Future studies can be conducted on different parameters and the results can be compared, and it is thought that qualitative research on compassion in working life will contribute to the field.

ÇALIŞMA YAŞAMINDA ŞEFKAT KAVRAMINA İLİŞKİN BİBLİYOMETRİK BİR ANALİZ

Öz

Çeşitli nedenlerle bireylerde oluşan acı kişinin hayatındaki tüm alanları etkilemektedir. Bu alanlardan birisi de hiç şüphesiz çalışma hayatıdır. Acı ile ilişkili bir kavram olan şefkat duygusu da bu noktada önem kazanmaktadır. Çalışma yaşamında şefkat duygusunun oluşması hem acı çeken kişiye hem de örgüte katkılar sağlayacak, yaşanan sürecin daha etkin olmasına yarar sağlayacaktır. Bu nedenle çalışma yaşamında şefkat konusunun irdelenmesinin gerektiği düşünülmektedir. Bu bağlamda araştırmanın amacı, çalışma yaşamında şefkat konusuna yönelik yayımlanmış eserlerin bibliyometrik analizi gerçekleştirmektir. R programı aracılığıyla Scopus veri tabanından çeşitli parametrelere göre elde edilen toplam 502 yayın incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre, genel olarak konuyla ilgili yayın sayılarının artış gösterdiği, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nin yayın sayısında öncü olduğu ve şefkat yorgunluğu kelimesinin en yaygın kullanıldığı anahtar kelime olduğudur. Gelecek araştırmalar farklı parametreler üzerine gerçekleştirilerek sonuçlar karşılaştırılabilir, özellikle çalışma hayatında şefkat konusuna dair yapılacak nitel araştırmaların alana katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
