Addressing the above questions will require innovative research methodology as well as close collaboration between academics and practitioners in the process of designing studies and collecting data. This type of collaboration is related to what Bartunek (2007) labeled “a relational scholarship of integration.” Thus, wee mph size that successfully narrowing the divide will require a joint effort on the part of academics and practitioners (McHenry, 2007; Rynes, 2007). For example, Rynes (2007) argued that much more research needs to be done to determine (a) why practitioners do not believe some of our findings as well as (b) why they do not implement them, even if they believe them.
