Abstract
The aim of this systematic review is to investigate the causes and effects of decision fatigue from the existing literature that can be generalized across different organizational domains. A comprehensive literature search in three databases identified 589 articles on decision fatigue. After screening the articles using PRISMA and JBI appraisal methods, 18 articles that investigated decision fatigue across various domains were selected. The selected articles were investigated through root cause analysis and thematic synthesis. Findings revealed eight causes of decision fatigue which were classified as individual, organizational, and external causes, and four primary effects and seven secondary effects of decision fatigue
