Abstract
This paper examines response rates (RR) in published research in business and management journals. Its aim is to evaluate the efficacy of RR-enhancing strategies, explore differences in RR between sub-disciplines and geographical regions, provide a critical appraisal of RR in business and management research, and offer guidelines for assessing and improving RR in business and management research. Data are analysed from 1093 survey-based papers published between 2009 and 2013 in a representative sample of business and management journals. The results of the study are discussed, and their implications for RR in business and management research are provided.
