understanding of JI. Extending the scope of the review will help to demonstrate

and a good understanding of JI isdemonstrated. At times the specific focus of
your review (what you want to say about JI) is unclear or changes tack.

its relationship with Job Performance. Further analysis of the key concepts
will help to support the particular focus of your review.

analysis gives the review a unique and purposeful quality.
