The main target of the study is to identify the most contributing countries, most commonly used key words in the past researches, research trends in this filed and the evolution of scientific publications on this topic during the preceding thirty-seven years (1983–2025). Methodology: The data was extracted by using the Scopus data base and for data analysis VOSviewer and Bibliometix (R-Studio) were used. Findings: The findings highlighted that China, USA, UK and India are the main contributing countries in the research of technostress and employee innovation. Four main clusters have been identified and the cooccurring keywords i.e. “artificial intelligence”, “information overloads”, “diffusion of innovation” and “technophobia”. Originality: The bibliometric studies found very rare in the field of technostress and employee innovation. The literature has been analysed from the data base of Scopus. So, this study will be the first contributing in the bibliometric analysis perspective. It is the limitation of the study that Web of Science and other platforms for literature might be used in future studies.
