Evidence-based management (EBM) is a framework well-suited to improving decision-making amid the deluge of available information. However, little is known about the enablers of EBM, particularly with regard to organisational-level factors. Drawing on the absorptive capacity (AC) literature, we identify novel multi-level factors that are likely to enable EBM implementation. Specifically, we review the empirical literature on antecedents of AC and use meta-analyses to determine the relationship between these antecedents and AC. Findings highlight organisational-level enablers of EBM including information system capabilities, transformational leadership, available resources and collaboration. Individual-level enablers include prior related knowledge, motivation for learning and employee empowerment. We contribute to the literature by illustrating the importance of organisational-level enablers for EBM, advancing a research agenda on EBM and providing recommendations for practitioners.

循证管理的促成因素：吸收能力文献的线索

基于证据的管理（EBM）是非常适合在大量可用信息中改善决策的框架。但是，对于EBM的推动因素知之甚少，特别是在组织层面的因素方面。利用吸收能力（AC）文献，我们确定了可能使EBM实施的新颖的多层次因素。具体而言，我们回顾了关于AC的先行因素的经验文献，并使用荟萃分析确定了这些AC的先例之间的关系。调查结果突出了EBM的组织级推动者，包括信息系统功能，变革型领导，可用资源和协作。个人层面的推动者包括先前的相关知识，学习动机和员工授权能力。我们通过说明组织层面的EBM支持者的重要性，推进关于EBM的研究议程并为从业者提供建议，为文献做出了贡献。JEL分类：M10
