The study explores the intellectual landscape and research development with regard to work-from-home (WFH) practices and their impact on employee outcomes, including engagement, productivity, performance, and job satisfaction. By conducting a comprehensive bibliometric analysis using data from the Scopus database covering the period from 2015 to early 2025, the study captures the changing scholarly interest in remote work dynamics. A total of 793 articles were analyzed using Biblioshiny (RStudio) and VOSviewer to identify publication trends, leading authors, productive countries, influential sources, and thematic clusters. The findings reveal a notable increase in publications after 2020, reflecting the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on research on remote work. The US and India emerged as the top publishing countries, while journals such as Sustainability and Frontiers in Psychology contributed the most articles. Keyword co-occurrence and bibliographic coupling highlight key themes such as telecommuting, digital collaboration, psychological wellbeing, and organizational support. The study offers valuable insights into the current state of research in WFH and its future prospects, highlighting the expanding global and multidisciplinary nature of this field.
Over the past decade, the concept of work-from-home (WFH) has transitioned from a flexible employment arrangement to a central component of modern work culture. Accelerated by the global outbreak of Covid-19, remote work practices rapidly became essential for organizational continuity and employee safety (Kniffin et al., 2021).
