Literature Review
2.1 Introduction
2.2 Definition of key variables:
2.2.1 Independent variable: Job resources (JR)
As all other variables depends on job resources
2.2.2 Mediating variable (Dependent and independent variable): Work engagement (WE)
dependent variable as WE depends on JR and
independent variable as TI and EIH depends on WE
2.2.3 Dependent variable: Turnover Intentions (TI)
as it depends on JR and WE
2.2..4 Dependent variable: Emotional ill-health (EIH)
as it depends on JR and WE
In this section, state different definitions from different sources and state what am I using in this study? I use the definitions from JD-R model. Why do I choose the definition?
2.3 Theoretical framework
2.3.1 Other theoretical frameworks
What other theories have been used to study your dependent variables?
· Hertzberg two factor theory
· Demand and control model
· Effort and reward model and
· Job characteristics model
2.3.2 The JD-R Model (Job demands- Resources Model)
Present the JD-R Model and show why it is good one for studying the dependent variables?
2.4 Research on dependent variables:
Provide a discussion on research on turnover intentions and emotional ill-health.
What independent/ antecedents variables did different researchers used to explain them? What were the findings and the context of these studies in terms of countries, respondents and sectors?
Why I am choosing job resources and work engagement as my independent variables? As per JD-R model.
2.5 Research gaps:
explain what current research has not covered that my study is going to cover
