A bibliometric research method was employed to systematically analyze the research literature on employee change support behavior published between 1994 and 2024. First, the research development trends and the evolution of research hotspots in this field were described, and the main research progress was evaluated. Second, an integrated framework for research on employee change support behavior was constructed, with a focus on “research theoretical perspectives, connotation measurement, influencing factors, processes, and impact effects.” Relevant studies on employee change support behavior were summarized and analyzed, and key characteristics of employee change support behavior were extracted, further clarifying the conceptual connotation of employee change support behavior. Finally, four directions for future research were identified. In-depth exploration of the multidimensional definition and scale development of employee change support behavior was suggested. Further investigation into the formation mechanisms and boundary conditions of change support behavior was proposed, with an expansion of research on team-level change support behavior and a deepening of research on the consequences of employee change support behavior. The comprehensive use of advanced methods such as secondary data analysis, behavioral experiments, and simulation modeling was recommended, along with an extension of the time span of research data. The deepening of local research was emphasized, with greater attention paid to incorporating Chinese contextual elements to reveal the formation mechanisms and impact outcomes of employee change support behavior. It is considered beneficial for further advancing subsequent studies on employee change support behavior and providing guidance for future research paths.
