Abstract: The gap between theoretical research and practical application involves not only the scientific rigor and relevance of research results, but also the factors of users themselves. Evidence-based practice claims cautious use of various types of evidence for management and decision-making, and provides a broader perspective for studying the influencing factors of academic research results. In this paper, 49 government units are used as organizational samples, and a hierarchical linear model is used to test the factors at the organization level and individual level that influence the use of academic research results by government staff. The research results show that the public service motivation, evidence-based ability, organizational scale and positive organizational environment have a significant positive effect on the use of academic research results; the working years has a negative effect on the use of academic research results; and the impact of individual education and departmental service objects on the use of academic results is not significant.

Key words: evidence-based, evidence, academic research results;government staff
