The long time lag in I-O psychology technology research observed by White et al
(2022) is in stark contrast to how other scientific fields progress with their research, such as
in medicine and the biosciences, which especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, have
produced life impacting research with an unexpected speed. There is a lot to be learned from
approaches in these disciplines, including more systematic collaboration across institutions
and research groups, sharing data and ideas. Beyond consideration of these practical
strategies, however, I suggest that it is imperative to review our research process in I-O
psychology and specifically the interplay of method and theory, if we want to produce
timelier technology research.
