A Sticky, Leveraging, and Scalable Strategy for High-Quality Connections Between Organizational Practice and Science

Abstract

In this article the author comments on the article “The Very Separate Worlds of Academic and Practitioner Periodicals in Human Resource Management: Implications for Evidence-Based Management,” by Sara L. Rynes, Tamara L. Giluk and Kenneth G. Brown, which appears in this edition of the journal. That article examines the divide between academic research into personnel management and the practical application of that research in a real-world work environment. The author of this article suggests a scalable plan for reconciling organizational behavior with academic research.
