Summary: | This paper aims to review the tools and methods used to enhance ergonomics in the construction industry (CI) using bibliometric and systematic literature analysis. For this purpose, the bibliometric information from the research article published on ergonomics in the field of CI was extracted from the databases of Scopus. A total of 3,052 articles published between 1997 and 2021 were retrieved. Information collected was analyzed using bibliometric and systematic analysis of literature using open-source computer software. The main findings of the study show the publication trends related to ergonomics in CI since 1997 and identify the most productive authors and the most influential research work. Our findings show that Peter Hancock and Waldemar Karwowski are the leading authors in the field of ergonomics in CI, the most influential articles have been published in journals such as the State of Science: Mental Workload in Ergonomics, Human Factors, and Ergonomics in Production Planning, A Review of Enterprise Agility: Concepts, Frameworks and Attributes, and Human Factors and Ergonomics. Systematic literature analysis of these articles has shown the impact of this topic on the research society and among academics. The findings of our research have theoretical and practical implications for CI ergonomics. The scope for future work has been identified which will be of use to emerging researchers in the field of ergonomics. |
