Abstract

In this paper, we explored the bibliometric network structure in the major literature on human resource management (HRM) systems and firm innovation.  In the search of Web of Science, we identified 173 unique papers, including quantitative papers, qualitative papers, literature review, editorial letters, etc. The VOS viewer bibliometric results showed three clusters of firm innovation from the HRM systems perspective: innovation in products or services, innovation in processes, and innovation in people and organizations. Our paper also described the number of publications, co-authorship information, and affiliated universities and countries per firm innovation cluster.
