Introduction
Each person tries to personally learn and evaluate what surrounds them. At the same time, the knowledge that people acquire in different ways affects the formation of thinking and helps them make certain decisions (Rynes & Bartunek, 2017). Therefore, this article aims to introduce readers to scientific evidence that can influence the use of evidence-based management practices.
Methodology and Theoretical Framework
It is also possible to identify a theoretical framework of research based on empirical evidence and a review of the literature. The study used a mixed methodology; quantitative statistics, graphs, and tables. At the same time, the author notes employees of different levels in the organizational hierarchy as participants in the study (The language of science, 2021). Furthermore, most of the article is based on a qualitative method; the author describes and analyzes concepts and backgrounds.
Terms
Concerning the terms, it is necessary to mention empirical research, ‘Empirical research addresses expected relationships, through the systematic study of relationships between scores obtained from cases’ and relationships ‘Relationships means simply that two or more things are associated, connected, or tied to one another ’(The language of science, 2021).
Key Findings
The author concludes that people are faced with a large amount of information that should not be immediately taken for granted. He points to two levels of science – operational and conceptual. Moreover, it is especially important to identify the relationships that count on the variables independent-dependent, mediated, and moderated (The language of science, 2021). The author argues that it is necessary to apply a scientific method to deepen knowledge and make the leadership sphere evidence-based.
Conclusion
Thus, science is a way to knowledge meaningless, have a deeper understanding, and build a management system based on reliability and evidence. The main threats to this process are erroneous measurements and results which can lead to misinterpretations and misunderstandings. Therefore, to choose information, it is necessary to rely on its validity and reliability, and it should be borne in mind that these concepts are not synonymous.
