Write a literature review for the following research question:
What are the fundamental aspects of organizational culture that shape the subjective experience of employee attachment and well-being in the technology industry?”
Most Literature should be from last five years – however, it is understood that foundational theories of attachment will need to be discussed.
Conceptual frameworks include: social exchange theory, psychological safety, leader behavior

Recent advances in attachment research have
established that attachment representations are relationship‐specific (Baldwin
et al.,1996). For example, Cozzarelli, Hoekstra, and Bylsma (2000) found that measures
of relationship‐specific attachment were better predictors of
relationship satisfaction than a person’s general attachmentstyle.
Attachment responses can likewise be triggered by organizational events. For example, Albert, Allen, Biggane, and Ma(2015) identified changes in the employment relationship as a trigger for attachment‐seeking behaviors among employees
Attachment styles are defined as cognitive–affective representations of the self and others in relationships, and their formation originally occurs on the basis of early caregiving relationships (Bowlby,1969, 1973). However, attachment styles have also been shown to change as people transition to more frequent interactions with others in
