Corporate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: A Bibliometric Literature Review
摘要
In recent years, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) have gained significant attention within the corporate social responsibility (CSR) debate, particularly in the accounting profession. Much of the focus in CSR research has focused on environmental issues, the social dimension, including DEI, remains underexplored. This study presents a bibliometric analysis of the extant literature on corporate DEI, examining key definitions, trends, and emerging perspectives. This study adds to the body of literature on DEI in the accounting profession by offering an in-depth analysis of publication trends and thematic areas within the field. It emphasizes that while gender remains a significant aspect of DEI, increasing attention is being given to other dimensions of DEI and their intersections in recent research. The findings offer valuable insights for academics, practitioners, and policymakers, contributing to the growing debate on DEI in corporate settings and identifying avenues for future research.
