About the book
Fully updated throughout, this fifth edition is essential reading for master's-level CIPD and non-CIPD students alike.
Balancing theoretical frameworks and practical guidance, Research Methods in Human Resource Management explains everything from defining a hypothesis and planning the research process through to reviewing literature and documents, collecting and analysing both qualitative and quantitative data. There is also guidance on how to write 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 as well as new material on ethics, sustainability and data collection in a hybrid world. This book also includes international examples and discussion of collecting data from different geographies. 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 and online resources include an Instructor's manual, PowerPoint slides and annotated weblinks.
