In their focal article, Lapierre et al. (2018) draw attention to several key unanswered concerns academics face in establishing, developing, and maintaining research partnerships with organizations. Though mentioned briefly in the article's introduction, one potential concern that would benefit from further attention is selling a potential research topic to organizations. Many academics find themselves with research interests that organizations would prefer to avoid shedding light on (e.g., workplace mistreatment, sexual harassment, hiring practices, diversity and inclusion practices, etc.). In these instances, it may be particularly difficult to convince key stakeholders within organizations to partner on research projects, especially in situations that might raise organizational fears of negative publicity. In their introduction, Lapierre et al. (2018) state that “middle or frontline managers may be reluctant to facilitate a study out of fear of what the research could reveal in terms of problems in their units, particularly if such problems might be perceived as reflecting poorly upon them (e.g., poor leadership skills)” (p. 545). Further, “managers may fear raising employees’ expectations or highlighting particular problems by involving them in research projects” (Lapierre et al., 2018, p. 544). In the following several paragraphs, I address how academics may proactively address and minimize these potential concerns. Although not meant to be an exhaustive set of recommendations, the goal is to provide several potential avenues for “selling” industrial and organizational (I-O) psychology research to potential organizational stakeholders.

制作和管理宣传:向组织出售 IO 心理学研究

在他们的焦点文章中,Lapierre 等人。(2018 年)提请注意学术界在与组织建立、发展和维持研究伙伴关系时面临的几个关键的未解决问题。尽管在文章的引言中简要提及,但可以从进一步关注中受益的一个潜在问题是将潜在的研究主题出售给组织。许多学者发现自己的研究兴趣是组织宁愿避免揭示的(例如,工作场所的虐待、性骚扰、招聘实践、多样性和包容性实践等)。在这些情况下,说服组织内的主要利益相关者合作研究项目可能特别困难,尤其是在可能引起组织对负面宣传的恐惧的情况下。在他们的介绍中,拉皮埃尔等人。(2018 年)指出,“中层或一线管理人员可能不愿意促进研究,因为担心研究可能会揭示其单位中的问题,特别是如果这些问题可能被认为对他们反映不佳(例如,差领导技能)”(第 545 页)。此外,“管理者可能担心通过让员工参与研究项目来提高员工的期望或突出特定问题”(Lapierre 等人,2018 年,第 544 页)。在接下来的几段中,我将讨论学者如何主动解决和最小化这些潜在问题。虽然并不意味着是一套详尽的建议,但目标是为潜在的组织利益相关者“销售”工业和组织 (IO) 心理学研究提供几种潜在途径。(2018 年)指出,“中层或一线管理人员可能不愿意促进研究,因为担心研究可能会揭示其单位中的问题,特别是如果这些问题可能被认为对他们反映不佳(例如,差领导技能)”(第 545 页)。此外,“管理者可能担心通过让员工参与研究项目来提高员工的期望或突出特定问题”(Lapierre 等人,2018 年,第 544 页)。在接下来的几段中,我将讨论学者如何主动解决和最小化这些潜在问题。虽然并不意味着是一套详尽的建议,但目标是为潜在的组织利益相关者“销售”工业和组织 (IO) 心理学研究提供几种潜在途径。(2018 年)指出,“中层或一线管理人员可能不愿意促进研究,因为担心研究可能会揭示其单位中的问题,特别是如果这些问题可能被认为对他们反映不佳(例如,差领导技能)”(第 545 页)。此外,“管理者可能担心通过让员工参与研究项目来提高员工的期望或突出特定问题”(Lapierre 等人,2018 年,第 544 页)。在接下来的几段中,我将讨论学者如何主动解决和最小化这些潜在问题。虽然并不意味着是一套详尽的建议,但目标是为潜在的组织利益相关者“销售”工业和组织 (IO) 心理学研究提供几种潜在途径。
