Understanding How OB Research Is Done
1. Create a hypothesis about people at work. Now that you have one in
mind, which method do you think would be most effective in helping
you test your hypothesis?
2. Have you used any of the OB research methods before? If not, what can you do to become more familiar with them?
3. Give an example of a reliable measure.
4. Give an example of a valid measure.
5. How can you know if a relationship is causal or correlational?
