Journal of Business and Psychology - Special Feature on Bridging Science and Practice

    Dear Friends and Colleagues (sorry about the cross-posting)

    It is my pleasure to introduce you to what I believe is a very unique
    special feature we just published in the Journal of Business and Psychology
    (edited by Allan Church).  It is a feature designed to help bridge the
    science and practice of IO/OB/HR. More specifically, each article presents a
    highly salient and topical practice issue.  Then, for each topic, a research
    agenda is outlined.  The research agenda is not driven by theory per se, but
    instead it is driven by the applied needs of practitioners dealing with
    these issues on a day to day basis. In other words, this is the research
    that practitioners are hoping they can inspire academics to pursue in order
    to advance practice in a meaningful way.  Overall, it is our small attempt
    to help bring the scientific and practice communities closer together to
    promote evidence based management.

    Below you can find the table of contents.  Also, you can visit the link here
    to gather abstracts.
