Description
Research Methods in Human Resource Management is a key resource for anyone undertaking a research report or dissertation. It covers the planning and execution of HRM research projects, from investigating and researching HR issues to designing and implementing research and then evaluating and reviewing the results.
Filled with international examples to provide a global perspective, this fully updated 4th edition of Research Methods in Human Resource Management balances theoretical frameworks and practical guidance. Fully updated throughout, this edition now includes increased discussion of methodological issues, more real-life examples and international case studies and best practice sample literature reviews and write-ups. 'Review and Reflect' sections at the end of each chapter help to consolidate learning and explain how it can aid professional development. This book is fully mapped to the CIPD Level 7 Advanced module on Investigating a Business Issue from an HR Perspective, and multiple-choice questions and a glossary of terms help students understand the key concepts and use the terminology confidently. Online supporting resources for lecturers include an instructor's manual and lecture slides and there are annotated web links, further reading and new reflective questions for students.

Reviews / Votes
"This book is everything that a student of HR could need to successfully complete a research project. Clearly and eloquently written with a wealth of useful real world examples, it walks a new researcher through the entire process and I would not hesitate in recommending this to my students." * Dr. Jill Hanson, Senior Lecturer, Derby Business School, UK * "The fourth edition of Research Methods in Human Resource Management is a thorough and up-to-date textbook concerning how to plan and carry out "major" research projects in human resource management - up to, and including dissertations. It is most valuable to those who are newer in their research experience. Equal balance and coverage is given to qualitative and quantitative research methodology. Even though the authors focus particularly on the United Kingdom, this book can and should have international impact. I recommend it highly, and hope that it further strengthens research rigour in HRM and management education." * Jon M. Werner, Professor of Management, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, USA *More details
