Abstract

This study offers a systematic review of academic research on work family interface and provides the knowledge map according to the three perspectives of conflict, enrichment and balance. The evolution of researches from the beginning until now (2020) was explored with the method of “Bibliometric analysis" through the visualization tool named VOS viewer software. The most influential authors, journals and countries in the field of work and family were introduced. The findings show that 70% of work and family studies have been conducted since 2010 and 75% of studies have been done by 10 countries, which the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada have the largest share. Also the journals of “Vocational behavior” and “Applied psychology” and “Greenhaus” are the most influential Journals and author in this field. Co-occurrence analysis on keywords shows 12 cluster and most frequencies for the keywords “Gender”, “Work family conflict” and “conflict”. Finally, considering the trend of work and family studies in recent years, suggestions for future research were provided.
