Deriving Behavioural Role Descriptions from the Perspectives of Job- Holders: An Illustrative ExampleRichard WinterIndex Review The editors of this compelling volume insist that contemporary HRM scholarship can be as profound and enduring as the classics in the study of work. A revamped vision of qualitative research, aiming to be innovative and timeless, should drive this agenda. The book urges researchers to draw on older disciplines - history, philosophy, psychology, law, ethnography - in new ways and points to the promise of novel methods, from photo-elicitation to cognitive mapping, which could drive HRM research. This is a call to do new things now and old things differently. --Bradon Ellem, University of Sydney, AustraliaTownsend, Loudoun and Lewin have compiled a solid and insightful resource that engages in some very interesting qualitative research methodologies. The contributors assembled in this volume remind us that there is so much more to business and management research than the narrow positivist approaches favoured in many prescriptive business schools. Studies of the world of work and HRM will be much better from consulting this volume. --Tony Dundon, University of Manchester, UKThis Handbook provides a much-needed fresh perspective on qualitative research methods. The editors and contributors to the book present convincing evidence that qualitative research can be both innovative and timeless when it is well designed and executed. The Handbook reminds us that recent technological developments, from mobile phones to transcription software, facilitate a much wider range of data collection than previously existed. A combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods can be a powerful source of progress in the social sciences. This Handbook is an essential reference for anyone undertaking qualitative research in HRM and will be an inspiration for current and future researchers. --Russell Lansbury, The University of Sydney Business School, Australia Review Quote The editors of this compelling volume insist that contemporary HRM scholarship can be as profound and enduring as the classics in the study of work. A revamped vision of qualitative research, aiming to be "innovative and timeless", should drive this agenda. The book urges researchers to draw on older disciplines - history, philosophy, psychology, law, ethnography - in new ways and points to the promise of novel methods, from photo-elicitation to cognitive mapping, which could drive HRM research. This is a call to do new things now and old things differently.
