Hi Hannah:
I suspect that you are referring to Don Hambrick's paper as follows:
Hambrick, D. C. (2007). The field of management’s devotion to theory: Too much of a good thing? Academy of Management
Journal, 50(6), 1346–1352.
And at the risk of appearing self-promotional, there is an upcoming Point Counterpoint that is coming out on this topic in the Journal of Organizational Behavior which is now available in early view:
"Point/Counterpoint introduction: The future of theory in organizational behavior research" which includes an overview and four articles.
Best,
John

Subject: seeking citation for article
A little while ago, there was an article talking about the perils of too much emphasis on theory in OB and management research, and the benefits of interesting papers emphasizing empirical findings.
Does anyone know what article this is, and have the full citation for it?
Many thanks
Hannah
