ABSTRACT Organizational career research is crucial in understanding the complexities of modern workforce dynamics, especially since organizations increasingly emphasize talent management and employee development. This study examined 465 publications from Scopus in the domains of Management and Organization and Social Sciences, covering the period between 1973 and 2023. Additionally, 122 Scopus‐indexed publications from 2024 to 2025 within the same subject categories were analyzed to capture recent developments. A comprehensive bibliometric analysis was conducted using VOSviewer 1.6.20 and the Biblioshiny package through the Bibliometrix R‐Tool. The study applied various techniques such as co‐citation, word cloud, trend topic, co‐occurrence, thematic mapping, and factorial analysis. The results underscore the intellectual, conceptual, and cognitive frameworks influencing organizational career research, explaining significant concepts, research clusters, and emerging themes. It also identifies the most influential sources, authors, and publications in organizational career research. Word cloud analysis defined career development, career satisfaction, and job satisfaction as the most frequently used keywords. Trend topic analysis recently focused on themes such as career sustainability, career crafting, career resilience, self‐efficacy, innovative work behavior, and the impact of COVID‐19. Co‐occurrence network analysis showed that organizational career research is structured into three clusters, focusing on career development, career satisfaction, organizational growth, and career adaptability. Factorial analysis revealed three fundamental dimensions: (i) human resources and organizational career management, (ii) career attitudes and individual development, and (iii) organizational support. These findings offer an extensive understanding of the changing dynamics of organizational career research and indicate key directions for future theoretical and empirical research.
