Abstract
The present study reviews organizational cynicism (OC) using the hybrid review approach, combining bibliometric analysis with a framework-based review using theory, context, constructs, and methodology (TCCM) framework. A total of 256 documents from the Scopus database were analyzed using VOS viewer software. This review follows the “Scientific Procedures and Rationales for Systematic Literature Reviews” (SPAR-4-SLR) protocol. The study identifies research gaps, dominant streams, and establishes future research directions. The study responds to solving questions raised in the existing literature and proposes research streams for future research. The study sets knowledge patterns on OC from existing literature and opens multiple doors for its utilization amongst business management scholars and practitioners. The study's conclusions also offer organizational leaders’ a sophisticated grasp of how cynicism appears and proliferates in work environment
期刊介绍:
For leaders and managers in an increasingly globalized world, Global Business and Organizational Excellence (GBOE) offers first-hand case studies of best practices of people in organizations meeting varied challenges of competitiveness, as well as perspectives on strategies, techniques, and knowledge that help such people lead their organizations to excel. GBOE provides its readers with unique insights into how organizations are achieving competitive advantage through transformational leadership--at the top, and in various functions that make up the whole. The focus is always on the people -- how to coordinate, communicate among, organize, reward, teach, learn from, and inspire people who make the important things happen.
