Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Research on supervisory feedback has burgeoned over the past 20 years. We ask, what does it have to offer to management practitioners, and is this knowledge conveyed in a constructive way? To answer these questions, we conducted a systematic literature review of the <jats:italic>practical implications</jats:italic> contained in feedback studies. Based on our retained articles (<jats:italic>N</jats:italic> = 120) and using the W‐H questions as our guiding framework, we critically discuss: <jats:italic>Why</jats:italic> recommendations are offered, <jats:italic>What</jats:italic> recommendations are endorsed, <jats:italic>When</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Where</jats:italic> the recommendations are presented as most applicable, to <jats:italic>Whom</jats:italic> those are addressed, and <jats:italic>How</jats:italic> they are framed by researchers. In so doing, we summarise the indications that scientific research has offered to practitioners; moreover, following the same framework and the insights collected via a follow‐up survey of academics (<jats:italic>N</jats:italic> = 61), we provide recommendations to researchers across the management and psychology disciplines on how to craft their practical implications sections in a way that may help bridge the gap between research and practice.</jats:p>
