AB Business organisations are subject to high pressure to ensure their sustainability andcompetitiveness. In the case of healthcare institutions, moreover, there are unique characteristicswhere human resource management is of vital importance. The workforce in these institutions isat a critical moment where the shortages of qualified staff, burnout, or job dissatisfaction representsome of the detrimental aspects for the performance of the organisation, and more importantly, theydiminish the quality of patient care. The promotion of organisational commitment is positioned asone of the tools that organisations have to face this problem. This paper aims to increase knowledgeabout research trends that analyse organisational commitment in healthcare institutions. To this end,using bibliometric techniques, a sample of 448 publications on this subject from journals indexed inWeb of Science between 1992 and 2020 is analysed. . The most analysedtopics have been job satisfaction, the implications of stress and high turnover, burnout syndrome,and the possibility of leaving the job. On the other hand, issues emerged such as empowerment in theworkplace and others related to organisational management such as quality of service or performance.Finally, there is a lack of research that deals more deeply with other groups working in health centres,such as doctors or administrative staff. There is also a need for further development in the analysisof the implications of the ideological psychological contract in relation to normative organisationalcommitment in the field of healthcare organisations. The contribution of this work focusses onexpanding knowledge about commitment in healthcare organisations and creating points of supportfor future research as well as helping healthcare managers make decisions in HR management
