Systematic reviews of academic research have not impacted management practice as much as many researchers had hoped. Part of the reason is that researchers and managers differ significantly in their knowledge systems—in both what they know and how they know it. Researchers can overcome some of these challenges by including managers as knowledge partners in the research endeavor; however, doing so is rife with challenges. This article seeks to answer, how can researchers and managers navigate the tensions related to differences in their knowledge systems to create more impactful systematic reviews? To answer this question, we embarked on a data-guided journey of the experience of the Network for Business Sustainability, which had undertaken 15 systematic reviews that involved researchers and managers. We interviewed previous participants of the projects, observed different systematic review processes, and collected archival data to learn more about researcher-manager collaborations in the systematic review process. This article offers guidance to researchers in imbricating academic with practical knowledge in the systematic review process.

Several recent studies have examined the prevention, causes, and consequences of insufficient effort responding (IER) to surveys. Scientific progress in this area, however, rests on the availability of construct-valid IER measures. In the current paper we describe the potential merits of the page time index, which is computed by counting the number of questionnaire pages to which a participant has responded more quickly than two seconds per item (see Huang et al., 2012). We conducted three studies (total N = 1,056) to examine the page time index's construct validity. Across these studies, we found that page time converged highly with other IER indices, that it was sensitive to an experimental manipulation warning participants to respond carefully, and that it predicted the extent to which participants were unable to recognize item content. We also found that page time's validity was superior to that of total completion time and that the two-seconds-per-item rule yielded a construct-valid page time score for items of various word lengths. Given its apparent validity, we provide practical recommendations for the use of the page time index.

Although the use of ideal point item response theory (IRT) models for organizational research has increased over the last decade, the assessment of construct dimensionality of ideal point scales has been overlooked in previous research. In this study, we developed and evaluated dimensionality assessment methods for an ideal point IRT model under the Bayesian framework. We applied the posterior predictive model checking (PPMC) approach to the most widely used ideal point IRT model, the generalized graded unfolding model (GGUM). We conducted a Monte Carlo simulation to compare the performance of item pair discrepancy statistics and to evaluate the Type I error and power rates of the methods. The simulation results indicated that the Bayesian dimensionality detection method controlled Type I errors reasonably well across the conditions. In addition, the proposed method showed better performance than existing methods, yielding acceptable power when 20% of the items were generated from the secondary dimension. Organizational implications and limitations of the study are further discussed.
