Abstract

The balance between professional and personal life among educators has become a critical issue as teaching demands, administrative workloads, and technology driven tasks increasingly blur the boundary between work and home life. This study maps the development, intellectual structure, and themes of teacher work life balance research over the last decade using a bibliometric approach. Previous bibliometric studies on work life balance have generally remained cross sectoral and generic, with limited attention to the occupational specificity and institutional realities of teachers. Data were retrieved from Scopus and analyzed using VOSviewer and Biblioshiny in RStudio. From an initial corpus of 297 records, 160 publications published between 2015 and 2025 were selected through inclusion exclusion criteria and the PRISMA flow. The results show an increase in publication output, with a rise in 2023 and 2024 and stabilization in 2025, indicating field maturation. Frontiers in Psychology was the leading source, while the United States and China contributed the citation impact. Keyword co-occurrence analysis identified dominant themes including teachers, work life balance, job satisfaction, burnout, and stress, organized into five connected clusters, with survey and cross-sectional designs prevailing. This article uniquely contributes to education literature by offering a teacher centered bibliometric map that clarifies the intellectual structure, thematic evolution, and policy relevant directions of work life balance research. The findings position teacher work life balance as a structural educational issue, not merely an individual coping problem, and support institutional and policy interventions to manage workload, strengthen welfare support, and sustain teacher retention.

Abstract

This study maps the intellectual landscape of burnout research indexed in Scopus, highlighting how the field has evolved, where it is published, what themes dominate, and which methodological and geographic patterns shape the literature. A bibliometric study was conducted using Scopus metadata covering 1,421 English journal articles from 2020–2025. The analysis integrates performance analysis, annual publication trends, source productivity, and local source impact using the H-index within the corpus, science mapping three-field plot and word-frequency mapping or word cloud, complemented by corresponding-author country distribution to describe geographic contribution and collaboration patterns. The literature shows steady growth with a marked acceleration after 2022, rising from 167 publications in 2020 to 340 in 2025. Output is distributed across multiple key outlets, with strong visibility in education, behavioral science, and health-related journals. Local source impact indicates a small set of journals function as central knowledge anchors in the corpus. Thematic mapping confirms burnout as the core topic, strongly connected to psychology, mental health, job satisfaction, and related occupational outcomes. Methodologically, the field is dominated by cross-sectional survey designs, while mediator or moderator testing is a growing analytical trend.  The study provides a consolidated evidence map to clarify research directions, dominant themes, and underexplored opportunities for future studies and collaborations.
