Abstract

This chapter presents the applications of blockchain technology within workplace settings and guides future research and organizational adoption. This is achieved through a bibliometric analysis of literature sourced from Scopus and Web of Science between the years 2017-2024. The findings indicate a significant increase in publications on blockchain applications in workplaces since 2019, indicating the technology's rising relevance and potential in workplace contexts. The thematic analysis identifies key areas where blockchain technology is expected to have a substantial impact, including knowledge management, smart workstations, human resource management, confidential information sharing and storage, and optimized workplace communication. This study proposes five key areas for future research: testing existing prototypes in various workplace applications, evaluating regulatory and ethical compliance, and investigating the social and environmental impacts of blockchain technology in the workplace.
