Introducción: La investigación analiza la relevancia de las habilidades blandas del profesorado para la calidad de la docencia universitaria. Materiales y métodos: El análisis bibliométrico ha examinado la evolución, tendencias y contribuciones clave de la materia, examinando 123 publicaciones relevantes entre 1950 y 2023 en Scopus y Web of Science. El marco temporal seleccionado (1950-2023) se escogió para analizar el desarrollo histórico de la materia elegida estableciendo un parámetro de estudio para una comprensión integral tanto de la progresión académica como de sus avances recientes. Resultados: Los hallazgos revelan que las habilidades blandas juegan un papel crucial en la calidad de la docencia universitaria, con un impacto positivo en la formación integral de los estudiantes. En segundo lugar, existe una evolución sostenida en la producción científica anual, con un marcado aumento en los últimos años. Discusión: En tercer lugar, existe una marcada tendencia hacia temas como la metodología, el desarrollo de la personalidad, la comunicación interpersonal, el diseño curricular, el desarrollo profesional y las estrategias didácticas, que destacan como ejes centrales en la investigación. Conclusiones: Finalmente, se destaca la importancia de incorporar las habilidades interpersonales en el currículo universitario como componente esencial para mejorar la formación integral del alumnado, favoreciendo su adaptación y rendimiento. En el futuro, es fundamental explorar cómo se integran las habilidades interpersonales en los programas educativos y redefinir tanto el perfil docente como la formación del alumnado, adaptándolos a las competencias necesarias en un entorno globalizado y dinámico.
