  • The maritime industry plays a vital role in the global trade and has experienced significant growth in the recent years. The success of the industry is largely dependent on the development of its human resources. This paper presents a bibliometric analysis of articles published in the Web of Science database from 1975 to 2022, focusing on Human Resources Development (HRD) in the maritime industry. The study examines the evolution and regional distribution of HRD knowledge, identifying significant trends, and highlighting key themes and research directions. The analysis reveals that the United States, the United Kingdom, and China are the leading countries in HRD research, while journals like Advances in Developing Human Resources, Human Resource Development International, Human Resource Development Quarterly, and Human Resource Development Review are influential in the field. The research identifies employee development and performance management, creating inclusive and supportive workplaces, and transforming HRD for the future as key areas of study. Future research should explore the impact of technology on HRD practices and innovative strategies for attracting and retaining talent in the maritime industry. These findings provide valuable insights for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers interested in advancing HRD in the maritime sector.
