The aim of this article is to off er an overview of studies related to job performance, presenting the results of a bibliometric review of empirical studies appearing in the principal journals of management and psychology (according to the Journal Citation Reports [JCR] index) in the period 2006–2015. We want to understand how researchers are studying job performance (e.g., which methods are employed, which variables relate to performance, and how the construct has been defi ned). This review is particularly relevant given that there is an absence of reviews during the past 10 years. In addition, the adoption of management, applied psychology, and business journals is justifi ed because they are areas that traditionally publish articles on organizational behavior, the fi eld of study into which the variable job performance is inserted. Our study analyzed 175 articles that investigated the theme job performance . The results showed the importance of performance in organizational studies, especially in understanding which factors (or variables) contribute to an increase in job performance. Therefore, it is recommended that more research be conducted to further develop this fi eld of study, with our research being a step toward comprehending the job performance construct.

 Conclusion

The bibliometric study is intended to research the individual-performance field during the time period of 2006-2015 and to help to fill a gap in the literature, since most of the work on job performance, as shown here, is empirical. Moreover, it contributes by proposing reflections intended to generate a research agenda on the topic. Therefore, understanding how performance has been portrayed is a key point in filling possible knowledge and research gaps. In turn, some limitations can be pointed out. It should be emphasized that the authors did not intend to exhaust the international production of this study. In fact, the search has been restricted to the most relevant journals in the areas of management and psychology. Th is restriction served as a fi lter of the quality of the articles. Th is type of mapping has the potential to contribute to the direction of the theoretical construct that promotes the advancement of scientifi c knowledge in the fi eld at various levels of analysis. Despite the limitations described for now, the balance here laid out allows for a preliminary mapping of the recent international production concerning the construct performance. In this sense, the results showed the importance of performance in organizational studies, especially in understanding what factors (or variables) contribute to increase in job performance. Studies focused on the dimensions of adaptive and counterproductive performance are needed. Th ere are great opportunities for research to rebuild the already established theories and to propose new theories, new models, and new relationships between job performance and other organizational variables.
