    Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review of the literature (SLR) was to draw attention towards the various benefits as well as the challenges associated with the adoption of reverse mentoring models in various universities. In addition to this, this SLR will help academicians to understand the perspective of students so as to advance the principles of equality, diversity and inclusion across universities with the potential to help make universities more imaginative and equitable environments for one and all. This paper also proposed to outline future research on this topic, which is around how the organisational culture can play a pivotal role in upporting the reverse mentoring dyads. Design/methodology/approach – A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) based on reflexive thematic analysis was conducted; review questions and key search terms were formed. Three academic databases were used, and the initial search yielded 130 papers. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines (Page et al.,2021) were used for screening the papers and 10 papers were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The Crowe Critical Appraisal Tool (CCAT) was used to assess the quality of the resultant papers, and all were included in the review (Crowe and Sheppard, 2011). Findings – The articles included in this systematic literature review on reverse mentoring shed light on how reverse mentoring is effective in bridging the technology divide between intergenerational groups and can promote diversity and inclusion. Reflexive Thematic Analysis by Braun and Clarke (2021) helped to condense the major findings into two themes and eight subthemes. Along with the benefits, some key challenges of reverse mentoring were discussed in the analytical themes; some of the challenges that were discussed include but are not limited to time constraints and less experienced mentors. Originality/value–As per the knowledge of the researcher, this is the first-ever systematic review of literature in the field of reverse mentoring, which has followed the PRISMA guidelines to screen papers between January 2007 till August 2023. Findings from this review would help academicians and practitioners to understand the various benefits as well as challenges of implementing the reverse mentoring model across universities. It would help academicians to address the barriers to RM, thereby promoting the values of equality, diversity, and inclusion across universities

    Mapping the growth of workplace mindfulness research for work-related stress: A bibliometric analysis of trends, key authors, and leading institutions (2004-2024)

    Objective: This paper investigates the existing scholarly literature on mindfulness-based programs implemented within organisations to address work-related stress. It seeks to offer a thorough understanding of the research landscape by analysing publication trends, citation patterns, and prominent research institutions. The paper also discusses the top 10 globally cited documents. Methods: Bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Web of Science (WOS) database. A robust search string was developed, incorporating keywords related to mindfulness practices and work-related stress. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were established. Publication data, authorship information, and keywords were extracted from the retrieved articles. Results: 1092 documents published between 01st January 2004 to 14th June 2024 were retrieved from the Web of Science (WOS) database. The results were imported to Biblioshiny, a tool to analyse and visualise bibliographic data. The result revealed that the annual growth rate of research on the topic is 19.28%. Mindfulness Journal is the most locally cited source, with 2159 local citations. Monash University of Australia tops the list of most relevant affiliations. The United States of America is the country with the highest number of scientific productions, corresponding authors, and documents with the highest citations. Conclusion: The number of publications on mindfulness in workplaces has grown. However, more research articles in Business and Management journals that combine mindfulness, stress and organisations are necessary to comprehend the diverse aspects and precursors of mindfulness practice in workplaces
