The Current Trends and Gaps in Employee Innovation Literature (A Bibliometric Study)
Employee innovation has become an increasingly critical topic in organizational and management studies, as firms rely on the creative and proactive behaviors of their workforce to remain competitive in dynamic environments. Despite growing scholarly attention, the literature on employee innovation remains fragmented across constructs such as innovative work behavior, employee creativity, and employee-driven innovation. This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of publications indexed in Scopus between 2000 and 2025 to systematically map the intellectual structure, thematic evolution, and collaboration networks in this field. Using performance analysis and science mapping techniques with VOSviewer, the study identifies leadership, human resource management, and innovation performance as dominant research anchors, while recent trends highlight the emergence of inclusive leadership, sustainability, and psychological enablers such as self-efficacy. The collaboration networks reveal China and the United States as central hubs, with increasing contributions from Asian and European countries. The findings underscore both the maturity of core themes and the presence of underexplored areas, including employee-driven innovation and digital transformation contexts. This study contributes by clarifying research fragmentation, proposing the integration of dispersed strands into more holistic theoretical frameworks, and offering practical insights for organizations seeking to foster inclusive, sustainable, and innovation-driven work environments.

The Effect of Work-Life Balance and Work Environment on Employee Performance with Job Satisfaction as a Mediating Variable
This study examines the effect of work-life balance and work environment on employee performance with job satisfaction as an intermediary variable. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 180 employees through a structured questionnaire measured on a five-point Likert scale. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS 3). The results reveal that work-life balance and work environment both have significant positive effects on job satisfaction, with the work environment showing the stronger influence. Job satisfaction, in turn, has a very strong positive effect on employee performance. Mediation analysis confirms that job satisfaction fully mediates the effect of work environment on performance and partially mediates the effect of work-life balance on performance. These findings suggest that organizational performance can be improved by creating a supportive work environment and promoting work-life balance, with job satisfaction serving as the key mechanism that drives employee productivity.

The Impact of Green Human Resource Management on Organizational Citizenship Behavior for the Environment (OCBE)
This study investigates the impact of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) practices on Organizational Citizenship Behavior for the Environment (OCBE) in Indonesia. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 130 employees across various industries through a structured questionnaire measured on a five-point Likert scale. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS 3). Results show that GHRM significantly and positively influences OCBE, with an explained variance (R²) of 42%. Among the dimensions of GHRM, green training and green rewards emerged as the strongest predictors of OCBE, while green recruitment and green performance appraisal also demonstrated significant but slightly weaker effects. These findings highlight the strategic role of HRM in fostering voluntary pro-environmental behaviors among employees, particularly in the Indonesian cultural context where collectivist values support sustainability. The study contributes to the literature by validating the GHRM–OCBE relationship in a developing country and by identifying the relative importance of different HR practices. Practically, organizations are encouraged to design HR strategies that integrate sustainability into training, rewards, recruitment, and performance management systems to strengthen both environmental performance and employee engagement.

Strategies to Improve the Competitiveness of Sustainable Palm Oil Commodities in Indonesia
This study examines strategies to improve the competitiveness of sustainable palm oil commodities in Indonesia through a qualitative analysis involving five key informants: a government policymaker, an industry association representative, a sustainability expert from an NGO, an academic researcher, and a smallholder farmer representative. Using in-depth interviews and thematic analysis, the research identifies six central themes influencing competitiveness: strengthening certification and standards, enhancing supply chain transparency, promoting technology and innovation, reforming policies and institutions, fostering stakeholder collaboration with smallholder inclusivity, and pursuing market diversification with value addition. The findings reveal that while certification and compliance with sustainability requirements are essential for international market access, challenges remain in supporting smallholders, improving institutional coordination, and adopting innovative technologies. The study concludes that sustainability should not be viewed merely as a compliance obligation but as a strategic driver of competitiveness. Integrating sustainability principles into policies, practices, and market strategies can position Indonesia as a global leader in sustainable palm oil production.
Bibliometric Analysis of Toxic Leadership
Leadership plays a central role in determining the success of an organization, both in terms of productivity and employee relations. However, not all leadership styles have positive effects. Toxic leadership is a type of disruptive leadership that causes emotional distress, reduces work motivation, and causes organizational dysfunction.
