Changes in graduate training and the socialization of new faculty members are also necessary. As we think about the conditions that are most likely to lead to research that has a genuine impact on practice, we are reminded of the excellent volume, Making it Happen—Designing Research With Implementation in Mind (Hakel, Sorcher, Beer, & Moses, 1982). Beginning the research journey with the end in mind focuses explicitly on application. It forces the researcher to confront difficult issues of research design when implementation of the findings is part of the research process. Eliciting academic researchers’ assumptions and naive approaches to field oriented research, and engaging them in active dialogue with others, especially practitioners or operating executives, around key strategic, tactical, and value issues, should be an integral aspect of graduate training in INDUSTRIAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL psychology. High house (2007) illustrated the dangers of attempting to apply findings from INDUSTRIAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL psychology that are not grounded in the contextual constraints that define operating organizations.
