Description

This essay is based on the following question –
As academics and future professionals, critically assess whether there is a divide between research and practice in HRM? If so, is the gap greater than it was 20 years ago? Does better science lead to better practice? What is the role of HRM theory and research in changing practitioners' behavior and decisions to improve the quality of work life for millions and the effectiveness of organizations?
