Secure TransactionBook Description
Now including brand new material on how to collect and analyse secondary data for a research project as well as new discussion of how ethics and sustainability apply to research methods, this fifth edition is essential reading for masters-level CIPD and non-CIPD students alike.
Balancing theoretical frameworks and practical guidance, Research Methods in Human Resource Management explains everything from the first stages of an HR research project, defining a hypothesis and planning the research process through to reviewing literature and documents, collecting, and analysing both qualitative and quantitative data as well as how to write up the research project with best practice sample literature reviews and write-ups included.
Fully updated throughout, this edition now includes expert discussion of how secondary data can be used in a research project when primary data collection is either not possible or not appropriate. There is also brand new material on data collection in a hybrid world as well as new discussion of ethics and sustainability. International examples and discussion of collecting data from different geographies help to give students a global perspective on research methods. Mapped to the CIPD Advanced module Business Research in People Practice, this is an invaluable textbook for all postgraduate HR students needing to complete a dissertation or research project. 'Review and Reflect' sections at the end of each chapter, case illustrations and activities help to consolidate learning. Online resources: Instructor's manual, PowerPoint slides and annotated weblinks.
