Developmental feedback: A systematic literature review for antecedents and consequences
Abstract/Description
Purpose: The purpose of the study is to gain insights into existing empirical studies on developmental feedback. It categories the antecedents and consequences of developmental feedback, in the dimension of performance management.
Study design/methodology/approach: This study undertakes a systematic literature review of articles published in Google Scholar (Emerald, Taylor and Francis, Wiley, Sage, Springer, Elsevier). The search result generated 168 articles.
Findings Based on the inclusion criteria some of the themes were generated. New insights were gained from the analysis of 35 articles related to developmental feedback in the context of performance which advances our understanding of different categories of antecedents and consequences of developmental feedback.
Originality/value: This is a systematic review that suggests the evolution of developmental feedback over time and the potential research gaps. As there is no systematic literature review available on developmental feedback, this research contributes to the field in this way.
Research limitations/implications: The author has provided a future research agenda in the context of performance management. Future studies may investigate the role of different categories of antecedents and consequences, the influence of different types of feedback to enhance the performance of employees.
Practical implications: This paper offers deep insights into literature of developmental feedback which is useful for both practitioners and scholars in thinking about the factors that may be critical for managing performance.
Social implications: This study provides guidelines for the managers in terms of enhancing performance through feedback and developing employees in the organizations which enhances growth of the organization.
