Abstract:

 This study presents the first bibliometric review dedicated solely to gig workers’ job ‎satisfaction, offering a focused synthesis of global research trends. Using data extracted from ‎the Scopus database, documents were analyzed through bibliographic coupling, citation ‎metrics, and thematic clustering. The analysis produced four conceptually distinct clusters: ‎algorithmic governance, psychological engagement, geographical well-being, and technostress. ‎Author impact, source influence, and institutional contributions were mapped using citation-‎based indices and network metrics. Keyword construction was guided by an extensive literature ‎review to ensure terminological inclusiveness. Figures such as thematic maps, trending topics, ‎and co-authorship networks illustrate the evolution and structure of the field, while tables ‎summarize the most influential documents, authors, and sources. By identifying conceptual ‎overlaps, geographic gaps, and emerging themes, this study provides a comprehensive ‎framework and strategic roadmap for future research. It serves as a foundational reference for ‎academics, policymakers, and platform designers seeking to enhance gig worker well-being ‎and satisfaction‎.
