Description

Human resource management as a field of research is a broad church, with a wide variety of research methods in use.

This Handbook focuses on qualitative research methods and explores the opportunities and challenges of new technologies for innovating data collection and data analysis.

The editors have brought together 18 chapters, written by some of the world`s leading researchers in their field.

They begin with the importance of good project design and then move on to reflect on innovations and developments in data sources, such as netnographical methods, legal research methods, the use of news media, and historical research.

They go on to outline innovations in data collection methods with particular pertinence to key HRM topics.

Finally, the contributors explore innovative data analysis, looking at the importance of computer-supported qualitative research, causal cognitive mapping and deriving behavioural role descriptions from the perspectives of job-holders. This Handbook is an invaluable tool for students, researchers and academics in the field of human resource management.
