Description
Summary:This study reviews the literature regarding millennials at work over the past 20 years (from 2000 to 2020). Bibliometric methods of citation, co-citation and bibliographic coupling analysis, as well as traditional content analyses, were performed on a sample of 377 articles retrieved from ISI Web of Science (WOS). Citation analysis revealed influential articles, authors, journals and countries. Co-citation analysis and bibliographic coupling identified six historic research streams and four current research fronts. The content analysis finally led to the identification of the future research questions. The study explores the body of literature on millennials at work over the last 20 years and offers context and placement in the literature for prior studies by presenting the historical and current state of research. Further, recommended research questions are identified for future research. Finally, we present implications for HRM practice and research.
