On the basis of our review, if we extrapolate past emphases in published research to the next 10 years, we are confronted with one compelling conclusion, namely, that INDUSTRIAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL psychology will not be out front in influencing the debate on issues that are (or will be) of broad organizational and societal appeal. It will not produce a substantial body of research that will inform HR practitioners, senior managers, or outside stakeholders, such as funding agencies, public policymakers (including elected officials), or university administrators who control budgets. There is evidence indicating that most practitioners do not read JAP or PPsych on a regular basis (Rynes et al., 2002). We speculate that this may result from a perception of lack of relevance. If the published research is seen as relevant and useful, then there is a higher likelihood that practitioners will read it and that the research findings will affect their practices. After discussing some limitations of our study, our final section focuses on what we can do in the future to heighten the impact of INDUSTRIAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL psychology research.
