Abstract

STEIL, Andrea Valéria; GARCIA, Carolina Esteves; FARSEN, Thaís Cristine  and  BONILLA, Maria Alejandra. Rewards in organizations: a bibliometric analysis of Brazilian literature from 2000-2011. Rev. Psicol., Organ. Trab. [online]. 2014, vol.14, n.1, pp. 19-35. ISSN 1984-6657.

This paper analyzes how the construct "rewards in organizations" is defined and operationalized by the Brazilian scientific community. A bibliometric approach was used to plan for, collect, and analyze the data. We searched for papers with the term "reward" in the title, abstract, or keywords, in twenty-four Psychology and Business Administration journals and three conference proceedings published in Brazil in the 2000-2011 period. The results pointed to 101 articles. A full reading of the articles generated analysis of the following aspects: number of authors, articles per year, percentage of articles in journals and conference proceedings of psychology and business administration; and definitions of "rewards in organizations" in the articles. Papers were also categorized based on the focus of the study: organizational determinants; individual outcomes; organizational justice; organizational outcomes; international rewards; executive rewards; gender determinants; rewards psychology; and as a dimension in scales of other constructs. The paper also indicates areas for further research regarding rewards in organizations in Brazil.

Keywords : Rewards in organizations; bibliometrics; organizational and work psychology.
