Understanding How OB Research Is Done
OB Research Methods
Laboratory Studies
Case Studies
rich information
for drawing conclusions
The downside is that it is sometimes
difficult to generalize
what worked in a single situation at a single organization to other situations and organizations.
Field Studies
experimental design
(control group/treatment group)
Meta-Analysis
a technique used by researchers to
summarize
what other researcher
s
have found on
a given topic.
is based on taking observed
correlations
from
multiple studies
, weighting
them by the number of observations in each study, and finding out if, overall, the effect holds or not.
Surveys
open-ended
close-ended
Measurement Issues in OB
the difference between
reliability(可靠性)
and
validity(正確性)
.
, much of management research addresses
correlations
between two concepts rather than actual
causation.(因果關係)
. When you have only one observation it is called a
datum(材料；數據)
. When you use the word
data
, it
refers to multiple observations, so it is always plural(複數).
