This study aims at characterizing the publications that discuss the Bauman's theory of liquidity and investigating its relationship with management aspects. To this end, a systematic review was used with metaanalysis involving a type of exploratory research and a mixed data analysis approach, i.e., qualitative and quantitative. The PSPP, Ucinet® and Nvivo® softwares were used as support. Data collection was through the bibliographic review of articles, dissertations and theses selected in the Web of Science, SCOPUS and CAPES Thesis and Dissertations Database. The results show that most of the studies researched used Bauman's theory of liquidity as a background to contextualize the phenomenon studied and are, also in their majority, theoretical. The empirical studies found do not corroborate the theory of liquidity and are also unrelated to management.
