COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF UKRAINIAN AND GLOBAL LITERATURE ON ORGANIZATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY IN 2015-2022

Abstract

This article overviews the most recent requests regarding individual career and organizational development. A bibliometric analysis is presented for conducting a review of Ukrainian and world scientific literature on career development and organizational development over the past seven years.  640 articles in “Journal of Vocational Behavior” (JVB), the leading scientific journal in the global career domain, and 250 articles in “Organizational Psychology. Economic Psychology” (OPEP), the only Ukrainian journal on organizational psychology, published from 2015 to 2022, have been systematically analyzed. The concept of career adaptability and terms related to this concept are revealed. Also, the key topics and trends that appeared in both journals during this period were identified. The key research trends in organizational and career psychology in Ukraine and the world during this time have been clarified. According to the content analysis results, it is shown that the most popular topics in global scientific literature for the last seven years have been mainly focused on career adaptability (15.31%), career planning (30.15%), career compatibility and organization of the individual, career satisfaction, job satisfaction and well-being, conflict between work and family roles. In the Ukrainian professional literature, topics related to educational organizations (30%), organizational culture (11.6%), psychological health and well-being (17.2%), social tension, personal development of leaders, and leadership have been mainly studied. It was established that topics related to job satisfaction and well-being have been common in Ukrainian and world scientific literature during the mentioned period of time. This review is accompanied by two pairs of tables: 1) citation ranking tables from both journals, covering 20 most cited papers by JVB articles and 20 most cited papers by OPEP articles; 2) a pair of keyword ranking tables from both journals. It is reasonable to take global experience into account and start a broader research of career-related topics in Ukrainian scientific literature.
