Abstract

Smart working is used to describe evolutionary changes that occur in a number of dimensions in the world of work. These changes occur in approaches to work, work culture, ways of working, workplaces, decision-making processes, communication, and collaboration. To understand smart working is to highlight the "multiplicative relationships"framework and the interaction of subsystems that include management values, performance systems, technology and work environment, Socio-technical approach is needed. This article tries to link with vocational education as an institution that prepares the workforce, especially in the era of industry 4.0, as part of sustainability. This article consolidates intellectual production and the evolution of the field of smart working and sustainability research with a socio-technical approach, using the analysis of scientometrics technology. The results are discussed from the perspective of the author using the relevance of the journal, the keywords, and the relevance of the article and its citations. We provide a comprehensive view and review of smart working and sustainability studies using a socio-technical approach. At the end of the article, there is a discussion about the implications and limitations of research. © School of Engineering, Taylor's University.
