An Approach to the Phenomenon of Digital Nomads: A Bibliometric and Lexicometric Study
| Resumo: | Abstract Advances in digital technologies and globalization increasingly enable remote work and, with the COVID-19 pandemic, companies made working conditions more flexible. Mobility restrictions and stress led to a significant increase in people seeking to combine leisure and work while commuting between different locations. This study examines 76 articles from the Web of Science and Scopus databases, using bibliometric and lexicometric analyses. Research has initially focused on issues related to the physical and technological resources required by digital nomads. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in delving into the lifestyle and work practices of digital nomads and the characteristics of the places, tourist destinations, and co-spaces that digital nomads prefer. Future studies should explore their education, skills, competencies, knowledge management, employment characteristics, and preferences for leisure, work, and travel destinations. Our findings can help tourism managers and urban developers to adjust their offerings to attract digital nomads. Companies can also use this study to rethink their working relationships with digital nomad workers. |
