    by Debiprasad Mukherjee, G. Naresh 
    Abstract: Digital transformation involves utilising emerging digital technologies to revamp business processes, organisational culture, and user experiences in line with global business demands. Employee job satisfaction is measured by their preference for job aspects such as work profile and quality. Consequently, scholars worldwide have examined how digital transformation affects employee job satisfaction. This study aims to analyse the progression of research on the impact of digital transformation on employee job satisfaction in major Scopus-listed journals within management and social sciences. Employing bibliometric tools like Bibliometrix/Biblioshiny, this analysis synthesises bibliometric data, encompassing clustering, conceptual, intellectual, and social structures, along with author and citation analysis. The objective is to provide researchers and academics with insights into the evolving literature, trends, perspectives, and themes in digital transformation and employee satisfaction. The findings underscore the positive correlation between digital transformation initiatives, heightened job satisfaction, and improved job performance, emphasising the potential to shift jobs from operational to strategic, lean, and flexible, thereby enhancing overall satisfaction.

The first publication on the customer satisfaction construct dates to the year 1928. The construct is a global phenomenon that has captured the interest of experts around the world in the previous decade, with publications ranging from 2016 to 2020. The study reveals that publications on customer satisfaction are available in a variety of fields but as expected, publication in the discipline of business management dominates this area of research.

  • Fraud and Anomaly Detection Models in Banks: a Systematic Analysis and Literature Connection   Order a copy of this article
    by Alex Pinto, Mathias Schneid Tessmann, Alexandre Lima 
    Abstract: This paper seeks to analyze and verify existing connections in the literature on fraud detection in banks. For this, 227 papers published until September 2022 in the Web of Knowledge through the PRISMA protocol are analyzed and classified. The works were identified using the keywords "Fraud", "Model", "Detection", "Banking" and "Risk" and classified into 12 categories, such as type of study, approach, cut, design, nature, the purpose of study, method, spatial scope, period of study, focus, data used and results. Based on the classification, statistics of complex networks are also used to identify the existing citation connections between them. The results show that there is a dissemination of the use of machine learning techniques together with business rules to detect possible cases of fraud and a growing increase in cases of fraud with social engineering. These findings are useful for the scientific literature that investigates operational risk professionals of banks.
