The flowchart progresses vertically through three stages labeled on the left as “Identification” , “Screening” , and “Included”. In the “Identification” stage , a box contains the text “Database: Scopus” and “Records identified in S O C I, B U S I, E C O N, D E C I subject areas (n equals 122)”. A right-pointing arrow leads to a box labeled “Records removed before screening: Duplicate records removed (n equals 2)”. A downward-pointing arrow leads into the “Screening” stage to a box labeled “Records screened (n equals 120)”. A right-pointing arrow leads to a box labeled “Records excluded (n equals 58)” which contains the text “Exclusion criteria: outside public-administration scope; smart working only marginally addressed; non-managerial focus; competencies or capabilities not a primary focus”. Below this , a downward-pointing arrow leads to a box labeled “Reports sought for retrieval (n equals 62)”. A right-pointing arrow from this box leads to “Reports not retrieved (n equals 21)”. Another downward-pointing arrow leads to a box labeled “Reports assessed for eligibility (n equals 41)”. Finally , a downward-pointing arrow leads to the “Included” stage box containing the text “Studies included in review (n equals 52)”. In the below right side the text “Reports added from snowballing and parallel searches (n equals 11)” connects the arrow between the boxes “Reports assessed for eligibility (n equals 41)” and “Studies included in review (n equals 52)”.The literature selection process.
