Abstract

The scientist-practitioner gap is the difference in academic and industry perspectives in IO Psychology. The present research analyzes the perspective of Master’s level practitioners through text analysis of a semistructured interview. Practitioners reported a lack of access to research and minimal connection to the research community.
