A constructive and safe work environment is a fundamental predecessor for learning, development, and innovations in organisations.The Psychological safety appears as the predictor supporting the constructive organisational settings.Until the 1990s, the focus of academic research was on elucidating the fundamental principles of the psychological safety.Currently, however, scholars aim at explaining more nuanced questions.This expansion seeks to deepen our understanding of the intricate nature of Psychological Safety, including the identification of its antecedents and understanding of its outcomes, and the mediating and moderating effects that shape the dynamics of Psychological Safety within organisational contexts.Given the recent dynamic attention to this concept, a literature review is needed.Suggestions for future research are also provided.
