Managers’ Attitudes and Perceived Barriers barriers towards evidence-based management, we believe that universities and PhD programs play an important role. LIMITATIONS Despite achieving some notable insights, this study — as with any — has some limitations. Our sample was not random and instead self-selecting. In addition, the response rate of our survey for the American sample was just 3%, and the response rate for the Belgian-Dutch sample was 30%. We do not have information about the managers and consultants who did not respond. Their lack of response may have been due to a negative attitude towards the use of research findings or skepticism towards evidence-based management. All this makes our findings prone to selection bias. Another shortcoming of our survey is the definition of the target population. The various definitions of the term ‘manager’ that are used in the literature cannot be operationalized objectively, as practitioners in our field use different titles and job descriptions. In addition, management is not a profession, which means the domain is not regulated, and managers are not required to join a professional association. Objective inclusion criteria are hence not available. Our findings may therefore not be representative of all those with the title of manager. Finally, as our survey used a self-rating questionnaire, the possibility of a socialdesirability bias should be considered. CONCLUSIONS According to our findings, evidence-based management is welcomed by managers. This is particularly the case for those who feel that findings from research are of practical relevance and believe that by using evidence-based management they can improve the quality of their work. This is in contrast to the widespread belief that managers perceive research findings to have insufficient relevance. However, lack of time and a limited understanding of scientific research are major barriers to the uptake and implementation of evidence-based management. Notably, studies within other professions where evidence-based practice is far more established than management report the same barriers. This suggests that managers tend to follow a typical pattern, rather than proving markedly different from practitioners in other fields. In order to enhance the use and adoption of evidence-based management, organizations need to promote a culture that facilitates practitioners to dedicate
Chapter 7 time to consult scientific evidence; educational institutions need to focus on improving evidence-based practice skills that are needed to find, read, evaluate, and apply scientific evidence; and universities need to teach future academics methods required to critically appraise and summarize the best available evidence on a topic relevant to practice. Only when these three conditions are met, will managers be able to overcome the most important barriers that impede the uptake of evidence-based management.
