Additional advantages and execution processes from a systematic literature analysis in management research

While adhering to the ideas of transparency and bias reduction, a systematic literature review gives a complete overview of literature linked to a research issue and synthesizes past work to enhance a particular topic’s foundation of knowledge. Systematic literature reviews offer importance in the developing, complicated, and dynamic area of management research, but very little material is published outlining how management researchers may use this technique. Explain the goal of systematic reviews and define and characterize a systematic review. Discuss how systematic literature reviews can help to improve management research and overcome present research flaws. A complete systematic literature review execution guideline is presented here, detailing procedures and offering tips for successful implementation.

SLRs have several advantages, including assisting researchers and practitioners in absorbing the rapidly growing body of management studies; providing a comprehensive, viewed at relevant work; giving insight into what causes inconsistent findings; opening the door to other potential research paths and future employment, and presenting a review that readers can trust was executed with actions to reduce bias. In addition, we recommended how SLRs may improve management research knowledge by addressing issues like HARKing, p-hacking and highlighting the need for replication. Finally, SLRs are a reliable way of combining the expertise of numerous researchers while minimizing prejudice. We expect that the current study aids in developing or reinforcing SLR foundations for management researchers, allowing them to effectively execute SLRs, contribute to the basis of management knowledge, and disseminate the wisdom gained to practitioners.
