Research Methods for Business and Management offers a comprehensive and practical guide to business and management research, combining theoretical foundations with step-by-step, hands-on instruction.It covers the full research process—from design to advanced data analysis—while integrating widely used software tools such as IBM SPSS, PROCESS Macro, AMOS, and ATLAS.ti to support both academic and applied research. Designed to bridge theory and practice, the book guides readers through formulating research problems, designing studies, and analyzing qualitative and quantitative data. It features dedicated chapters on advanced techniques such as mediation, moderation, factor analysis, and structural equation modeling. Ethical guidance on the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) is also included. Each chapter offers clear learning outcomes, real-world examples, practical exercises, and access to datasets and instructor resources via a companion website.Ideal for bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral students in business, management, and related fields, the book also serves as a valuable resource for instructors and early-career researchers. Its applied approach makes it especially useful for those seeking to enhance their research design and data analysis skills.

In many professions daily work life has become unthinkable without the use of a computer with access to the Internet. As technological innovations progress rapidly and new applications of interactional media are invented, organizational behaviour continues to change.The central theme of this book is how new media affect organizational behavior and employee well-being. A variety of topics are considered: applications of new media in both personnel psychology and organizational psychologytools to improve selection and assessmentissues arising in the context of training, learning and career developmentthe use of online games for education and recreationthe impact of mobile devices on organizational lifethe implications of new forms of collaboration by means of virtual teams. The research documented in this volume consists of high quality, quantitative studies illustrated by lively practical examples. The combination of science and practice ensures that new insights supported by empirical studies are translated into practical implications. The book will be essential reading for researchers and students in organizational psychology and related disciplines.

This edited collection brings together some of the leading researchers in the study of the daily experience of work and daily well-being. The book covers both theoretical and methodological issues involved in studying workers’ well-being as it evolves on a daily basis. Interest in the topic of daily fluctuations in worker well-being has grown rapidly over the past ten years. This is partly because of advances in research and statistical methods, but also because researchers have found that the psychological processes that influence well-being play out from moment to moment, and from day to day. Topics covered in this book include: The theoretical basis of studying work as a series of daily episodes Assessment of different components of daily well-being Factors involved in the regulation of well-being at work Qualitative and quantitative diary experience sampling and event reconstruction methods Latent growth curve modelling of diary dataThe final chapter of the book includes a preview of how daily methods may evolve in the future.Intended as a guide for researchers with good knowledge of field research methods, the book will be particularly useful to researchers of work-related phenomena who seek to expand their knowledge of dynamic methods in field contexts, and those who want to start using these methods. It will also be of interest to students of work psychology and organisational behaviour, and related disciplines.
