The data collection process results in 147 papers out of the total of 241 extracted papers. According to the bibliometric analysis, research in this field is mainly led by the USA and France. The co-occurrence analysis shows Four major theme: Study on job satisfaction, worker’s health assessment, cultural influence on textile factory workers, and review on absenteeism. The results indicate that workers were more concerned about the security of their current position rather than overall employment security, and this factor affected their job satisfaction and well-being.
