Background
Global mindset (GM) is a relatively new concept slowly gaining the attention of researchers, and it has been heavily influenced by globalisation throughout the years. A better understanding of the term can support companies’ growth in international settings and help develop a more effective, skilled workforce. Due to the multiplicity of approaches across the literature, there is a call to systematise available knowledge on GM regarding its antecedents, outcomes, and definitions.

Research aims
The aims of this systematic literature review are to present GM and summarise the available knowledge. This article not only reviews available GM definitions but also addresses its antecedents and outcomes.

Methodology
GM literature was gathered via multiple databases (e.g., ERIC, PsycArticles, PsycINFO, Google Scholar). Two phases of review were incorporated in the process. The first one focused on including peer-reviewed texts and selecting those qualifying for further analyses. The second stage was a content analysis. Two independent judges classified text into specific categories describing the antecedents and outcomes of GM.

Findings
Systematic literature review has shown a multiplicity of GM definitions (n = 18), antecedents (n = 179), and outcomes (n = 52) of GM. As a result, a new GM definition emerged from merging the most common features of the existing ones. This, in turn, reflects a great need to keep on developing our knowledge on the subject and creating clear, applicable structures of the GM concept.
