Abstract

Purpose Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many companies are building virtual workplaces based on virtual reality technology. Through this study, we intend to identify the trend of convergence and convergence research between virtual reality technology and work space, and suggest future promising fields based on this. <br>Design/methodology/approach For this purpose, 12,250 bibliographic data of research papers related to Virtual Reality (VR) and Workplace were collected from Scopus from 1982 to 2021. The bibliographic data of the collected papers were analyzed using Text Mining and Pathfinder Network, Parallel Neighbor Clustering, Nearest Neighbor Centrality, and Triangle Betweenness Centrality. Through this, the relationship between keywords by period was identified, and network analysis and visualization work were performed for virtual reality-based workplace research. <br>Findings Through this study, it is expected that the main keyword knowledge structure flow of virtual reality-based workplace convergence research can be identified, and the relationship between keywords can be identified to provide a major measure for designing directions in subsequent studies.
