The main purpose of the study is to examine the intellectual structure of academic studies on blue-collar workers. In this context, (1) productivity and evolution of the field, (2) conceptual dimensions, (3) citation density and (4) structure of academic networks related to blue-collar workers were analyzed. The findings of the study produced results covering all fields of science, not just management and organization. As a result of the study, blue-collar studies by years, the most cited blue-collar studies, the researchers who published the most frequently about blue-collar workers, the researchers who conducted the longest research on blue-collar workers, the most frequently used keywords and academic networks in blue-collar studies are determined. The most important finding is that the blue-collar issue is the common intersection point of different fields of science such as health, medicine, finance, management and organization, marketing, psychology and sociology.
Marshall Plan or a Mediator: The Intellectual Structure of the Management Studies in Europe
(Inderscience Enterprises Ltd, 2025) Sozen, Hulusi Cenk; Kirkbesoglu, Erdem; Tuzlukaya, Sule; Cakar, Mehmet; Business; 05. School of Business; 01. Atılım University
This study aims at examining the role of European Management Review (EMR) within the on-going paradigmatic debates between Europe and North America concerning management and organisational research. Ten years worth of bibliometric data of the journal was gathered. Citation patterns of EMR authors were analysed according to which journals they preferred to refer to more frequently. Citation patterns of authors from sub-regions of Europe were also compared to test whether heterogeneity exists in terms of academic resource usage. The findings highlight that EMR has successfully constructed a bridge between research traditions of two continents. Qualitative, macro and theoretical articles, which are significant characteristics of the European paradigm, have a considerable rate of acceptance in EMR. Besides obeying local rules of scientific inquiry, the majority of European authors have decided to use influential North American journals. EMR has partially found a way to unify the fragmented research efforts in different parts of Europe.
