Abstract

The development of research on employee creativity has an important role in companies around the world, including Indonesia. This study aims to map research on employee creativity around the world published in reputable international journals and indexed by Scopus. The method in this study uses Bibliometrix Analysis with the help of the VoSViewer application which is supported by Analysis results available on the Scopus website. The database that was taken was limited to the study of employee creativity in the fields of business, management and accounting which was in the form of articles and was taken on December 2, 2020 which resulted in 424 articles. The results of the study conclude that the development of employee creativity research has increased significantly in the last 5 years where in 2020 it reached 71 articles per year. Opportunities to research employee creativity in Indonesia are still wide open because Indonesia still ranks 18th with 8 articles per year that examines employee creativity. The results of this study also recommend six related research clusters, namely creativity, employee creativity, leadership, knowledge sharing and psychological capital. Research exploration on employee creativity can be done by adding antecedents of job requirements and self-confidence at work which can also be moderated by variables of supervisor support and work climate.
