Previous studies on work-related support in an organization have received a lot of attention not only from the academicians but also received positive responses from practitioners as well as organizations. The finding of past studies has empirically proven that work-related support in an organization affects the work performance and the sustainability of an organization. Work-related support can be defined as a perception of individual employees related to the attitude of caring and helping each other in the organization in terms of monitoring, finances, advice, and the sense of belonging in an organization. Based on the observation from past studies, there are three categories in relation to work-related support namely support from supervisors, support from colleagues, and support from the organization. Nonetheless, the previous studies have only discussed these three elementsof support separately while these three elements of support need to be discussed integratedly because they are interrelated and complementary to each other. Therefore, more research is needed to be conducted to examine the integration of three categories. This article discusses the three categories of work-related support in an organization based solely on past studies consisting of the support from supervisors, colleagues, and the organization is essential to ensure the performance of the employees is better and helps to improve organizational productivity. In addition, this study also discusses the research issues for future researchers.
