THE EVOLUTION OF CUSTOMER CITIZIENSHIP BEHAVIOR RESEARCH: SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS

Abstract

Customer citizenship behavior has been a remarkable concept in recent years, particularly in service research, due to the numerous benefits it provides from both the customer and the company's perspectives. This study aims to give a comprehensive view utilizing bibliometric methodologies and to provide a systematic evaluation of the growing literature on customer citizenship behavior. In this vein, a systematic review was conducted by applying content and bibliometric analysis to 151 emprical research articles in the Scopus database. The findings are discussed under the headings of descriptive overview and bibliometric mapping (year, author, country, journal, citation, keyword), theoretical background, studies used in measurement, methodological approaches (research design, data collection method, population, sample size, sampling method, analysis, industry) and related variables (antecedents, consequences, mediators and moderators). This study contributes to the body of knowledge by clarifying the literature on customer citizenship behavior, presenting the current situation, identifying gaps, and making recommendations for future research.
