Human resource departments increasingly use the statistical
analysis of performance indicators as a way of demonstrating their
contribution to organizational performance. In this book, Steve
Fleetwood and Anthony Hesketh take issue with this 'scientific'
approach by arguing that its preoccupation with statistical
analysis is misplaced because it fails to take account of the
complexities of organizations and the full range of issues that
influence individual performance. The book is split into three
parts. Part I deconstructs research into the alleged link between
people and business performance by showing that it cannot explain
the associations it alleges. Part II attributes these shortcomings
to the importation of spurious 'scientific' methods, before going
on to suggest more appropriate methods that might be used in
future. Finally, Part III explores how HR executives and
professionals understand their work and shows how a critical
realist stance adds value to this understanding through enhanced
explanation.
