| Abstract | Coping with evolution and the changes it brings to the workplace remains a major concern for organizational leaders. This study explores the hotspots, trends, and future directions of the field of organizational unlearning to complement the extant research. A bibliometric analysis based on the literature collected by the Web of Science database was used to categorize or cluster different authors, their countries, institutions and different keywords (cooperation among authors, co-citation, co-occurrence of keywords), to discover their uniqueness or determine the relationship between them while using CiteSpace software to draw knowledge graphs and then results. This study advances the debate on sustainable knowledge acquisition in organizations and its interaction with organizational unlearning. It directly aids the process of radical change in workplace learning and training models and provides a clear view of the previous literature on organizational unlearning by laying a solid foundation for future research in the field of learning. Purpose-This paper aims to explore the hotspots, trends, and future directions of the field of organizational unlearning to better complement the research done on organizational unlearning. Methodology-A bibliometric analysis based on the literature collected by the Web of Science database is used to perform categorization or clustering of different authors, their countries or regions, and different keywords (or cooperation between authors, co-citation, co-occurrence of keywords), to discover their uniqueness or determine the relationship between them while using CiteSpace software to draw the knowledge graphs that are then displayed as results. Conclusions-Based on the findings of CiteSpace, this study has detected a positive collaboration between countries and this collaboration is more perfect between all countries, institutions, and cited authors. Implications-It is hoped that organizational unlearning will be a more frequent topic in the future, as the world of business is more and more in constant change, and the individual or organization needs more than ever to unlearn in order to better adapt and remain competitive. Therefore, the present study is based on the exploration of the intellectual structure of organizational unlearning in business management in the existing literature, it leads us to discover the emerging trends in the performance of articles, their collaborative patterns and their research constituents. This is obviously to indicate the importance and impact of the research work done by different authors in their institutions, and thus to make an assessment of its value to the wider research community. Limitations-Firstly, CiteSpace simply analyzes literature data from WOSCC, therefore, our data may not represent all of the available literature. Secondly, our study defined certain keywords that could lead to data reduction. Finally, due to the existence of multiple synonyms, there may be some overlap between different content categories in keyword grouping. |
