A systematic review of mental health studies in management studies

The worldwide spread of work-related mental unhealth suggests that this is a major problem affecting organizations and employees on a global scale. In this systematic review, studies published in the period from 1996 to 2022 were searched and reviewed electronically from Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus databases using relevant keywords. After removing duplicate and unrelated articles, the quality of the articles was evaluated independently.results show that there is a massive literature on work-relatedmental unhealth in MOS and related fields. Most notably,there is a structuralist literature which has made important contributions to our understanding of the impact thatoccupational and organizational structures and conditionshave on employee mental health. Secondly, there is a functionalist literature concerned with designing and devising managerial practices and models for promoting organizational performance as well as good mental health at work. Finally, there is a critical literature primarily concerned with how mental health problems are constructed and managed in relation to a neoliberal discourse of individual responsibility, choice and self-management. And considering the importance of mental health and its impact on various indicators of life, the need for effective plans and interventions in the field of mental health promotion is felt.
