An impressive range of HRD scholars have contributed to this
excellent Handbook which offers a timely addition to both the HRD
and the research methods literatures. HRD researchers who consult
this book will find a thoughtful pathway through the debates and
dialogues that feature in our dynamic and evolving field. The book
provides practical guidance about research making use of emerging
as well as established forms of data and approaches to analysis
that can advance knowledge in the HRD domain. I commend it to
novice as well as to experienced researchers. I will certainly be
referring to it myself as I seek to develop my expertise as an HRD
scholar and researcher.' - Valerie Anderson, University Forum for
HRDAs Human Resource Development (HRD) research has developed, a
growing variety of quantitative and qualitative data collection
procedures and analysis techniques have been adopted; research
designs now include mono, multiple and mixed methods. This Handbook
brings together the wealth of research methods experience gained by
HRD researchers into one essential volume. Organized into four
parts, the book explores conceptual issues, qualitative research
methods, quantitative research methods and methodological
challenges. It utilises the wealth of research experiences of
leading HRD scholars to provide a range of insights highlighting
what works, what does not work and associated challenges. Each
chapter provides annotated further reading, allowing the reader to
expand on the topics discussed. The Handbook will prove invaluable
for students and academics in the social sciences who are
interested in the development of human resources - particularly
postgraduates undertaking research on HRD and undergraduates
researching HRD issues. It will also be of use to academics
teaching research focused modules on HRD and people related issues,
as well as experienced HRD researchers looking to further develop
their understanding of methods for researching HRD. Contributors:
