Abstract Work alienation (WA) is on the rise, especially in today's era of globalization and digitalization. However, its foundational ties to Marx Hegel's conceptualizations are often overlooked. Despite extensive scholarly examination across disciplines, conceptualization WA remains plagued by a lack consensus concerning definitions, processes, operationalizations. This systematic literature review identifies four major definitional approaches their inherent limitations. First, equating with antecedents diverts attention from core mechanisms. Second, definition‐by‐negation leads an underspecified construct, raising questions about empirical congruence. Third, defining through correlates risks confusing it different concepts. Fourth, expanding construct WA, include distant constructs surplus meanings, camouflages WA's essence, hindering deeper understanding phenomenon. To enhance conceptual clarity, this paper aims clarify measurements, guiding theories, triggers, ramifications, coping strategies within organizational contexts. Drawing Hegel Marx's dialectical lens, we compose definition centered three‐faceted self‐other dialectic. Also, present three‐stage developmental model, illustrating how develops manifests itself as relationships among self, others, work‐life contexts evolve. By integrating elements various management offer fresh perspective for new research aimed at preventing WA. addressing theoretical practical challenges that may arise, emphasize crucial role Human Resource Management team leaders recognizing mitigating preserve vital individual, team, societal resources.
