The growing demands of work and life have shifted the concept of work-life balance to work-life integration (WLI). The success of integration depends upon the flexibility to perform the duties. This paper aims to explore the factors that affect WLI and the role of flexible work arrangements (FWAs) in the process of WLI.

Systematic literature review was used to explore the concept of WLI and FWAs. A bibliometric analysis was carried out with Bibexcel and VoSviewer.

This paper explained the organizational and personal factors that create the demand for WLI. The FWAs, perceived flexibility, technology and self-efficacy have important roles in WLI. The result of WLI can be enrichment or strain, depends upon how effectively the work-life domains are integrated.

This paper explores the work-life from both personal and organizational views. The findings of this paper will be useful to design the organizational policies and work arrangements that match the requirements of employees and organizations. This paper helps to develop the future research agenda of investigating the relations of WLI to performance, organizational policies and personal factors.

The purpose of this paper is to perform a meta-bibliometric analysis of the banking service quality and to provide various research streams. Another goal is to provide future research questions to explore these areas in more detail.

The authors used three major academic databases (Scopus, ProQuest and EBSCO) from 1980–2021 and found 226 papers, where they performed the meta-bibliometric analysis by performing co-citation analysis, co-authorship analysis, cartographic analysis and content analysis.

The SERVQUAL model is the most used conceptual framework and model to study banking service quality. Structural equation modeling (SEM), followed by partial least squares SEM, is a majorly used method. There are three research streams in the literature: retail banking service quality, internet banking service quality and mobile banking service quality. Retail banking is the most studied stream, whereas mobile banking is the least studied stream. The study on banking service quality was initially conducted in developed markets, and later in emerging markets. All three streams have scope for further exploration, and hence, 44 future research questions have also been proposed.

This study has implications for bank managers, academicians and future researchers.

This study is unique in that it examines the meta-bibliometric dimensions of banking service quality and provides directions for future research for academicians and researchers.

This study aims to support researchers and practitioners in finding suitable instruments for future research studies and organizational quality assessments.

Employees’ success of learning at work is strongly influenced by the quality of the workplace learning environment. In the recent decades growing effort has been given to the development of surveys to measure the quality of workplace learning, resulting in a large number of available survey instruments. This study conceptually draws on a 3-P model and uses a qualitative metasynthesis to collect and categorize n = 94 surveys that intend to measure the quality of workplace learning (WPL).

The results underline that research on WPL environments is a highly interdisciplinary endeavor, where every discipline enriches the field by a new perspective and own foci. Overall, this study finds a focus on learning culture and working conditions, on social and functional inclusion of the learner and on support and feedback during training. Products of WPL such as professional competences or career aspirations play a minor role.

With the integration of quality measurement instruments from various research studies, this study produces an interactive online instrument map that gives a broad, yet organized overview of available quality measures in the WPL field.
