Abstract
This study conducts a comprehensive bibliometric analysis to explore the intellectual structure and research evolution at the intersection of organizational culture and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Utilizing the Scopus database and advanced bibliometric tools, the study analyzes publication trends, key research clusters, author collaboration networks, and thematic evolution in this interdisciplinary domain. The findings reveal significant growth in scholarly interest, with distinct research clusters emerging around sustainability-oriented organizational culture models, employee engagement through CSR, and cultural mediators in CSR implementation. The United States and United Kingdom dominate the research landscape, while institutions like Swinburne University of Technology, Universidade de São Paulo, and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University lead in research productivity. Journal articles comprise the majority of publications, spanning diverse disciplines including management, ethics, sustainability, and public health. The authorship analysis highlights the need for careful interpretation due to potential data indexing limitations. The temporal analysis reveals exponential growth, culminating in a peak in 2020, likely influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic. This bibliometric mapping establishes a comprehensive knowledge base, identifies research gaps, and provides insights for future interdisciplinary investigation in this critical organizational domain. The findings contribute to both organizational behavior and corporate sustainability literature, offering evidence-based insights for management practice and CSR effectiveness in diverse cultural contexts.
