The literatures presented discuss on the development and concept of OCG. Sources for each studied variable were collected and evaluated from literature. To that effect, key words and phrases were entered in specific online databases. Moreover, sources that were found relevant to this study were summarized, analyzed, and evaluated in literature mapping. Finally, a synthesis was done to identify the research gap. The references used in this section were chosen based on selected criteria. The first criterion was recency. Most selected studies were from 2009 to 2020 time bracket. Several earlier seminal and relevant research studies on each variable were also integrated in the study. These studies were selected to provide historical and theoretical development of the constructs. The second criterion was quality. All were peer reviewed publications. The third criterion was accessibility. All selected articles were chosen based on their availability. This paper is organized into several sections. Each section and its related subsections examines histories, definitions, theories, concepts, and researches relevant to understanding the construct under scrutiny. This closes with research gap and future research agenda.
