Constraint-effects-mitigation model: a systematic literature review

Purpose The current study reviews the relevant literature to analyse the implementation of the constraint-effects-mitigation model in different contexts. The model is rooted in the leisure constraint theory, which tests the interrelationship between constraints, negotiation, motivation and participation. Design/methodology/approach Systematic literature review was done using six databases to probe into the application of the constraint-effects-mitigation model. The initial stage includes identification of the keywords and after comprehensive screening, 85 articles were found eligible, PRISMA framework has been utilised for the screening of the articles. Findings Findings of the study will help researchers and practitioners gain a better understanding of the constraint-effects-mitigation model’s functionality, and the contexts in which it has been applied. Practical implications This study proposes multiple theoretical and practical implications, which can enable future similar research work. It highlights the model’s potential application in emerging domains and under-researched regions. Originality/value This is a pioneering study that investigates the different research themes and methodological approaches being used in constraint-effects-mitigation model and has reviewed the studies that have applied the constraint-effects-mitigation model as a whole.
