This study analyzes how the Management and Information Systems literature has investigated the associations between Overload, Anxiety, Fatigue, Avoidance, and Literacy to develop a preliminary research model in Big Data environments to be tested in future studies. We identified 93 articles for analysis, and we found nine direct associations between these variables. These results served as a basis for us to appropriate their theoretical backgrounds and adapt them to develop a preliminary research model to investigate how Cognitive Overload, Anxiety, Cognitive Fatigue, Avoidance Behavior, and Data Literacy are associated in Big Data Environments.
