Abstract
With the increasing presence of competitive work environments, task design and motivation have a great potential to moderate stress in the workplace. This study is a systematic literature review of this topic with existing literature and emerging trends. The review was conducted using tools like Scopus, VOSviewer, AuthorMapper, MAXQDA, Vicinitas, CiteSpace, Harzing’s Publish or Perish, and Web of Science. Bibliometric and co-citation analyses were performed using these tools to show the connection between task design and motivation with moderating stress levels. The results of the analyses showed the importance of these topics with other areas like creativity, individual differences, and mental health. It is essential to understand these connections because companies are becoming more cognizant of mental health in the workplace and need to design tasks to accommodate those issues. Finally, conducting research into task design and motivation in the workplace, the focus can be shifted to educational institutions for future areas of research. These opportunities are highlighted by the literature review and analyses.
