Abstract
Military veterans have not been studied widely in the context of non- military organizations, although academic interest in veterans’ topics has increased in the last decade. Relatively little is known about veterans’ employment experiences, organizational contributions, and workplace challenges in non-military organizations beyond the liminal period of transition from military service to non-military organizations. I review twenty years of multidisciplinary research on military veterans with an emphasis on post-World War II veteran cohorts, identify gaps in the literature, and provide direction for future research using on a theory elaboration approach. I organize and describe research on military veterans based upon the authors’ conceptualizations of veterans’ status as a demographic trait, a bundle of human capital, or a unique culture that is indicative of deep-level diversity. I find that these conceptualizations serve to influence the research questions and theoretical approaches to the study of military veterans.
