A strong case can be made for the reciprocal transfer of learning between the journals and practice, as well as for blurring the distinction between the science and practice of I/O psychology. This is because journals consistently provide answers for practice, and the implementation of the answers provides a basis for publication and subsequent research. The author’s research and practice in the areas of employee motivation, performance appraisal, training, and personnel selection are used in support of these arguments.
