How is human resource management research (not) helping practice? In defence of practical implications
本文通过分析2018年发表的324篇人力资源管理实证文章，发现学术期刊对实践意义的关注严重不足，平均不到2%的篇幅用于讨论实践含义，且表述晦涩难懂，呼吁期刊要求作者更重视实践意义的沟通。
Abstract This article provokes that human resource management (HRM) research is a long way from helping practice. Following a review of HRM empirical articles published in 2018, we show the limited focus academic journals place on practical implications. We provoke that HRM journals are failing to ‘do the right thing’ by not requiring authors to pay enough attention to communicating the practical implications of their research. In half of the articles that we reviewed ( n = 324) less than 2% of the text focuses on practical implications. We also found that where practical implications were offered, they were often obscure, implicit, and used unintelligible terms. We argue for extensive practical implications to be included in publications that provide an impetus to research relevant topics and close the knowledge‐translation gap.
