Thriving is facilitated by a sense of learning and vitality, contributing significantly to employee development and well-being. The paper offers a comprehensive overview of the past, present, and future of research on thriving at work using bibliometric techniques. The in-depth literature review employs document citation analysis, bibliographic coupling, and thematic mapping, utilising data from the Web of Science database to present an inclusive overview of existing literature. A meticulous review led us to identify research streams, existing gaps, and potential areas for future exploration in the study of thriving at work. We outline key research trends and gaps, suggesting future research directions from various theoretical and contextual perspectives. Our contribution to the thriving literature is grounded in the use of bibliometric methods to ensure objectivity and detail in the review process. We also offer detailed future research propositions along with practical implications aimed at benefiting both scholars and the wider community by shaping the future of a sustainable workforceTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Ekonomska fakulteta
