Abstract: Purpose Work Alienation over the years has been regarded as an important construct in all disciplines but more recently it has been declared as an understudied construct in the domain of Management.In an attempt to contribute some work to revitalize this concept, this review paper aims to organize, evaluate and synthesize the fragmented work done on the statistically proven antecedents of work alienation.Research Methodology In order to identify what drives work alienation, a rigorous and extensive study of the literature was conducted through analyzing relevant ISI indexed journals.The published empirical research on work alienation is the main focal point of this narrative review.At the initial stage, the focus was on ISI indexed management journals.The initial analysis helped to identify key antecedents, so the research was made more rigorous through searching related articles in specialized journals as well.Findings A summary table is prepared that highlights the extent to which work is done on statistically proven antecedents.The table highlights that much replica is found with little or no modifications in the already developed models Practical Implications The review paper attempts to organize ,evaluate and synthesize the quality literature work done on the topic under review.It opens new avenues for future researchers by highlighting how this construct can be worked upon to contribute and add to the existing body of literature.
