PROVOCATION SERIES PAPERS: HRM IN THE 21ST CENTURY Becoming an evidence-based HR practitioner

摘要

Evidence-based HR (EBHR) is a decision-making process combining critical thinking with use of the best available scientific evidence and business information. We describe how to get started as an evidence-based HR practitioner. Actively managing professional decisions is a key aspect of EBHR. Doing so involves making decisions, especially consequential or recurring ones, using practices supported by high-quality research. We present a step-by-step set of approaches to becoming an evidence-based HR practitioner: from getting started, through everyday practices and continuous learning to integrating EBHR into your organisation. In offering guidance for evidence-based practice, this article underscores the connection between effective practice and organisational research.
