Question

Which study designes are typically used in HRM?


Answer

Correlational field studies

  • Good for finding relations (how is b related to a)
  • High external validity
  • Use different sources or time-lagged design
  • Questionaires often used, collect many data points for correlational field studies

Experiments

  • Mostly done in the lab
  • Good for studying causal link (does x lead to y)
  • High internal validity
  • Can be combined with Correlational field studies in the field

Meta-analysis - Many studies pooled, averages a relevant - Don't overinterpret outliers
