Project Part 2. Review the relevant academic research literature (7 to 8 pages)

Once you have identified the relevant OB concepts, models, or theory that might apply to the problem you identified in step 1 above, you should conduct a brief review of the current academic literature relevant to this topic. You should start with the textbook references and snowball backwards or forwards from there. The best way to do this is to use Google Scholar to search for articles. You must provide an integrated summary of the current academic literature based on at least 5 academic articles. You must use academically rigorous articles that come from the approved list of journals I will provide to you or journals articles with my approval as the basis of your literature review. The purpose of the review is to develop and demonstrate an accurate, up-to-date, and integrative understanding of the evidence for the theory and how it works. That is, define the constructs, understand the logic of the relationship among constructs, and demonstrate a nuanced understanding of the situational context factors affecting when or for whom this academic theory is most likely to apply. Each article should be summarized in 1 page and the integrative summary should be 2 to 3 pages for a total of 7 – 8 double spaced pages for this section.
