Zusammenfassung: | Five thousand human resource (HR) professionals were surveyed regarding the extent to which they
agreed with various HR research findings. Responses from 959 participants suggest that there are large
discrepancies between research findings and practitioners' beliefs in some content areas, especially
selection. In particular, practitioners place far less faith in intelligence and personality tests as predictors
of employee performance than HR research would recommend. Practitioners are somewhat more likely to agree with
research findings when they are at higher organizational levels, have SPHR certification, and read the academic
literature. Suggestions are made for more effective dissemination of HR research findings. © 2002 Wiley
