The HR research–practice gap, as demonstrated by Rynes et al. (2002) and later by Rynes, Giluk, and Brown (2007), suggests a deep division in professional orientation and the valuation of different sources of knowledge. This conclusion is not much consolation for the field of INDUSTRIAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL psychology, but at least we are not alone. The need to narrow the divide between the academic and practitioner worlds is a challenge for INDUSTRIAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL psychology and also for HR and other related fields as well (Bartunek, 2007; D. L. Shapiro, Kirkman, & Courtney, 2007). In short, even if a handful of INDUSTRIAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL psychology researchers publish in journals more oriented toward practitioners, results of the present study suggest that mainstream INDUSTRIAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL psychology research, as represented in its two most prominent journals, is not closely connected to current and emerging human capital trends. The next questions we address are as follows: What are the implications of this schism, and what, if anything, should we do about it?
