Abstract
The tensions arising from paradoxes provide individuals with a path and opportunity for learning and exploring challenging issues in their work. The paradoxical mindset indicates the extent to which people embrace and are energized by tensions, which helps them leverage tensions and produce creative outcomes. The aim of this study is to explore the development of the paradox mindset field through the identification and analysis of publications within the social sciences. The study comprises a review of 154 publications from 1993 to 2024. Bibliographic coupling and co-citation analysis have been employed to identify influential work and gaps. The main contribution of this paper lies in the structured, comprehensive, and objective examination of the literature. The results of this study offer researchers and scholars guidelines for further exploration in the field of social sciences, while emphasizing to managers the importance of the paradox mindset and helping them deal with such behavior.
