In this section, we discuss four potential limitations of our study and its findings. First, the article examined only the quantity of articles published by topic, not their quality or direct impact on outcomes (e.g., whether they have affected organizational practices or policy decision making in a meaningful way). To be sure, a single seminal article produced by one team of researchers could have tremendous impact, and our review would not capture that impact. In contrast, the quantity of articles published over time on a particular topic should reflect an underlying interest in a particular topic, including investment of time and resources in this topic, from the field in general. What we can say, however, is that if such research does not relate to issues of current or emerging importance in organizational and work settings, then by definition it cannot have impact and INDUSTRIAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL psychology will be relegated to the status of a cottage industry.
