bibliometric, psychological well being, teacher, vosviewerAbstract
This study examines the influence of teacher well-being on educators, students, and other stakeholders, focusing on trends in existing research. This study aims to create a bibliometric map of articles discussing teacher well-being using the VOSviewer application from a psychological perspective. Data collection was conducted using reference management software, specifically Publish or Perish, to facilitate a literature review centered on the topic of teacher well-being. This approach provides insights into the scope and depth of existing studies, highlighting patterns and gaps for further exploration. The keywords "teachers" and "wellbeing" were employed during the data gathering process. Articles selected for the analysis were those published between 2015 and 2024. The findings identified 500 articles relevant to the topic of teacher well-being published within the last decade.Research trends in the world based on research publications on teacher wellbeing have increased from 2015 to 2020. However, from 2020 to 2024 the trend of research on teacher wellbeing continues to decline. Based on the results of bibliometric analysis, the term teacher welfare has 152 links. It can be concluded that research publications on teacher well-being are still limited to research and have great opportunities for further teacher’s well being research from psychological perspective in the future especially in job resources, psychological capital, emotional intelligence, motivation, expectations, age, and connections.
