<![CDATA[Based on Max Weber's sociological viewpoint, the idea of value-free science stresses keeping a researcher's personal beliefs apart from their scientific investigation. This study looks at the continuous debate between value-laden science and the ideal of no values, especially in the domains of economics and management. Although objectivity is still a primary goal in scientific work, the research discovers through a qualitative literature review and bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer with Scopus data that values—ethical, social, and cultural—inevitably influence different stages of research, from topic selection to methodology and interpretation.
