The Scopus database is used to identify the scientific publications for this study.

From the short-listed articles, the authors have identified 45 relevant studies connected to the HPWS area in the healthcare domain that was published in top-rated journals listed in ABDC. The authors have systematically analysed the selected studies. A critical review of the existing literature helped gather and present details relating to the theoretical framework referred to, intervening variables, performance outcomes, methodological concerns, etc., Also, research gaps have been identified and the avenues for future research are suggested. In addition to this, the authors have conducted a bibliometric analysis to check for the domain knowledge structure, trending topics and themes of HPWS research in the healthcare industry.
