FinTech and Organizational Performance Research: Insights from Bibliometric Analysis Using VOSviewer

Abstract

This study investigates the knowledge structure and thematic evolution of research on FinTech and organizational performance through a comprehensive bibliometric analysis. Using author and source co-citation analyses with VOSviewer, 134 articles published between 2019 and 2025 across the fields of finance, management, and information systems were examined. The analysis identifies 64 influential authors and 48 key journals, forming distinct clusters that reveal thematic relationships and levels of interdisciplinary integration. Geographically, research is concentrated in China, the United States, and the United Kingdom, highlighting opportunities for cross-country and cross-disciplinary comparative studies. With 1,818 author co-citation links and 732 source co-citation links, the findings demonstrate a highly interconnected knowledge network, underscoring the interdisciplinary character of the field. This study contributes to the literature by mapping the foundational knowledge base and outlining potential directions for future research on FinTech and organizational performance.
