Abstract

The paper highlights the successful role played by knowledge brokers in bridging the gap between research and policy development. Drawing on the work of Oldham and McLean (1997) on the role of knowledge brokers, the paper identifies that intermediaries the Workplace Employment Relations Survey (WERS)operate in a number of guises and at important points within the knowledge creation and transfer process, as well as within the dissemination of data.
