Purpose:
Your literature review should demonstrate your understanding of your chosen topic and should provide a critical discussion of the literature. This is the
‘science’ half of the scientist–practitioner approach.
Expectations:
Based on your chosen topic:
- Demonstrate your understanding of the topic.
- Incorporate critical discussion: Compare and contrast the research, show that you understand the limits of
the research. - Following a standard critical essay structure, address the following points:
- Provide a brief introduction of what workplace stress is (including definitions) and outline your essay.
- Explain why it is important for organisations (i.e., what are the outcomes or consequences).
- What do we know about factors that build/predict your chosen topic (i.e., what are the antecedents,
what can organisations do to facilitate your chosen construct). - Provide a brief conclusion/summary of essay.
