Theoretical background: Intellectual capital is perceived as a global economy driving factor. Many researchers highlight that it is an ingredient improving the functional gear of almost any organisation. Some voices have simultaneously appeared in scientific discussions claiming that the concept of intellectual capital management may not be fully applicable, either in conditions of economic downturn or during turbulent changes. A whole spectrum of external factors then come to the floor, affecting the situation of a company, while the periods of economic perturbations discourage investments in human resources and hamper HR initiatives. Therefore, in these changing economic conditions, a question arises about the rationale for and the directions of the development on the research on intellectual capital, and the concept itself undergoes a practical verification of suitability and usefulness. This is a particularly interesting field of research because the transformations, which take place in the environment of enterprises, create specific expectations, which should be met within the framework of ongoing research projects on the intellectual capital.Purpose of the article: The aim of this article is to identify the dominant topical trends and networks of research directions in the subject of intellectual capital and their changes over time. The study attempts to illustrate these changes.Research methods: Having employed the text mining method, nearly 5,000 scientific articles on intellectual capital were analysed. Consequently, this extensive literature review enabled mapping of the network of links among the research directions in this area.Main findings: The results of the study have provided a fairly deep insight into the trends in the research on intellectual capital over the years. The results also reflect the vastness of the subject and the scope of the issues addressed over the past and present years. The interest in the concept of intellectual capital management continues and the dynamics of changes in the environment of the modern enterprise is not at all insignificant. The clusters, identified in the research on intellectual capital, have been opening new theoretical, pragmatic and methodological horizons. The analysis, carried out within the study network, confirmed the multifaceted nature of the network of research directions in the area of intellectual capital. In addition, the new research trends, which have been emerging in this area, clearly respond both to the dynamic changes in the business environment and to the doubts about the scale of activities, undertaken with regard to the intellectual capital management. Thus, in this situation, the periods of crisis and instability appear on one hand as a serious threat to the issue of intellectual capital management, while on the other, they can be perceived as an opportunity to renew the existing management concepts.

Zarządzanie Zasobami Ludzkimi

Począwszy od lat 60. XX wieku liczba publikacji w obszarze zarządzania zasobami ludzkimi (ZZL) z dekady na dekadę rośnie w postępie geometrycznym. Z jednej strony zjawisko to powinno cieszyć autorów niniejszego artykułu jako akademików, z drugiej zaś - stanowi konkretne wyzwanie: jak kompilować i syntezować wiedzę, którą już stworzyliśmy, tak aby nasze przyszłe przedsięwzięcia faktycznie rozwijały dziedzinę, której poświęcamy się na co dzień. W odpowiedzi na to wyzwanie postanowiono wykorzystać stworzone przez Luda Waltmana i Neesa Jana van Ecka narzędzie, którego skuteczność wynika z unifikacji dwóch technik bibliometrycznych, mapowania i grupowania. Wykorzystując metodę text miningu, opartą na analizie języka naturalnego, przebadano treść tytułów i abstraktów 6033 artykułów naukowych w obszarze ZZL, odnoszących się do podejść lub metod badawczych. W efekcie badania ilościowego, uzupełnionego i pogłębionego przez jakościową analizę fraz, przedstawiono mapy określające strukturę, nasycenie oraz trendy tematów obecnych w metodologii tejże dziedziny. Wynikiem badania jest wyraźny i ostry obraz różnorodności i pluralizmu w postrzeganiu zasobów ludzkich, a także przestrzeni, gdzie pozornie różne obszary przenikają się nawzajem.

Starting with the 1960s, the numbers of publications in the field of human resource management (HRM) has been growing in a geometrical progression with each successive decade. Although as a community of academics we should be pleased with this phenomenon, it is simultaneously a challenge: How can this knowledge that we have created be compiled and synthesized so that our future endeavors actually develop the discipline to which we devote our daily efforts? Our response is the use of the research tools developed by Ludo Waltman and Nees Jan van Eck—mapping and clustering—that are effective thanks to their unification. Applying text mining based on natural language processing (NLP) we analyzed the content of the titles and abstracts of 6,033 scientific articles in the field of HRM that make reference to research approaches and methods. Through quantitative research complemented and deepened with a qualitative analysis of terms, we present maps defining the structure, intensity, and trends in topics as found in the methodology of this domain. The main result of our study is a clear and vivid image of the diversity and pluralism present in the perceiving of human resources as well as spaces where seemingly divergent subfields permeate each other.
