Cybervetting: bibliometryczna synteza interdyscyplinarnego pola badawczego z lat 2014–2025
Abstrakt
Artykuł prezentuje bibliometryczną analizę dorobku naukowego dotyczącego zjawiska cybervettingu, rozumianego jako wykorzystanie mediów społecznościowych do oceny kandydatów w procesach rekrutacyjnych. Badanie przeprowadzono z użyciem pakietu Bibliometrix w środowisku R na podstawie danych z baz Scopus i Web of Science, obejmujących łącznie 110 publikacji z lat 2014–2025. Analiza pozwoliła określić dynamikę rozwoju badań, najczęściej cytowane prace i autorów, a także kraje i ośrodki badawcze dominujące w tym obszarze. Wyniki wskazują na rosnące zainteresowanie problematyką cybervettingu, zwłaszcza w kontekście rekrutacji, etyki, prywatności oraz wizerunku zawodowego w sieci. Literatura ujawnia interdyscyplinarny charakter badań łączący perspektywy zarządzania zasobami ludzkimi, psychologii, informatyki i nauk społecznych. Jednocześnie zauważono przewagę publikacji pochodzących z krajów anglosaskich i niedostateczną liczbę analiz międzykulturowych. Autorzy podkreślają potrzebę dalszych badań nad standaryzacją praktyk cybervettingu oraz nad konsekwencjami automatyzacji tego procesu dla etyki i sprawiedliwości rekrutacyjnej.
