The purpose of the study is to examine the relationship between workplace ostracism and employee well-being, with a focus on its implications for health and wellness in modern workplaces. It seeks to identify key research trends, influential contributions, and emerging gaps through a bibliometric lens. A total of 2745 articles published between 2000 and 2024 from the Scopus database were analyzed using bibliometric analysis. Advanced tools like Excel and VOSviewer were used for performance analysis and visualization, mapping research trends, thematic clusters, and interdisciplinary connections. Key areas of exploration include mental health, stress, job satisfaction, and the role of organizational culture. This practice has a negative effect on employees’ health and well-being, and they experience high levels of stress, anxiety, and disengagement. Research interest in the area is gaining momentum, and research activity is peaking in 2023. The contributions come mainly from authors from the United States and the United Kingdom. It can be said that emerging research has focused attention on leadership, inclusivity, and digital well-being to help alleviate the ill effects of ostracism. This study offers a comprehensive bibliometric perspective on the intersection of ostracism and wellness, gleaning both psychological and organizational impacts. It also identifies practical strategies for creating healthy and inclusive workplaces. The study was limited to Scopus-indexed articles, which may have excluded non-English, non-Western research. Future studies can then expand data sources and explore longitudinal and cultural perspectives.
