inseguridad laboral, precarización del trabajo, revisión sistemática de la literaturaResumen
La inseguridad laboral se caracteriza por el temor y la angustia asociados a la posibilidad de perder el empleo, así como por la sensación de impotencia ante la incapacidad de modificar esta realidad. Esta revisión sistemática tuvo como objetivo identificar las características de la estructura conceptual de la inseguridad laboral, al tiempo que propone nuevas direcciones para la investigación futura. El estudio se llevó a cabo utilizando las bases de datos Web of Science y Scopus, que, tras la aplicación de criterios de selección específicos, permitieron identificar 277 artículos, los cuales fueron analizados mediante los paquetes bibliometrix y shiny, conformando la muestra final. Los resultados permitieron caracterizar el perfil de las publicaciones y ofrecer una visión general de la producción científica sobre el tema durante el período comprendido entre 1979 y 2024. El análisis de los hallazgos se estructuró en dos ejes de investigación: i) la identificación de indicadores bibliométricos, incluyendo el perfil de las publicaciones sobre inseguridad laboral y la estructura conceptual del campo; y ii) la propuesta de una agenda de investigación con nuevas líneas de desarrollo. Se espera que este estudio contribuya a la generación de nuevos avances en el área, partiendo del estado actual del conocimiento para proponer perspectivas e ideas innovadoras que impulsen el desarrollo del tema de la inseguridad laboral.
