KNOWLEDGE MAPPING FOR THE STUDY OF LEARNING ORIENTATION PERSPECTIVES IN CHINA: BIBLIOMETRICS AND LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

Learning orientation, as an essential idea impacting the sustainable growth of organizations, the fundamental achievement of successful human resource management, and a critical component in improving company competitive advantage, has steadily attracted the attention of studies. However, few studies have systematically and fully assessed the relevant learning-oriented literature internationally. The CiteSpace methodology is employed to detect prominent areas of research, cutting-edge developments, and emerging patterns in the domain of learning orientation spanning the years 2012 to 2022. The results of this study suggest that the volume of published literature has continued to rise over the same time period, and that authors and research institutions have occasionally displayed insufficient collaboration and have yet developed a more general environment of academic collaboration. Furthermore, the environment and market demand have a significant impact on the development of learning-oriented research hotspots. Entrepreneurial orientation, innovation, market orientation, and firm performance are the key themes of the LO field. Learning orientation is critical to company success, particularly in terms of long-term growth. In a highly competitive market, learning orientation may assist businesses in maintaining competitive advantages. As a result, the ultimate purpose of learning-oriented research is to promote a long-term approach to organizational growth.
