Rezensionen
"What stands out about this book in that it is not simply about research techniques, but rather about the process of becoming a researcher. There is a strong focus on developing one's identity, attitudes, and values as a scholar. I've had the good fortune to "try out" draft chapters from this book in my Research Methods in Industrial and Organizational Psychology course for the last few years. I've taught this for decades, and this text really adds value to the course. It is very favorably received by students. Landers and Behrend have provided a great service to the field with this project."
Paul Sackett, Richard Fink Distinguished Professor of Liberal Arts, Department of Psychology, University of Minnesota, USA

"Landers and Behrend have provided an indispensable guide to research methods in I-O psychology, driven by an underlying principle that similar books often forget, namely that research is a human enterprise at its essence. In fact, the leading chapter explores a philosophical question that is as unique as it is important: How might one's beliefs, assumptions, and practices influence the conduct of research? Through their social and scientific explanations, the authors make the strong case for diverse research and researchers in I-O psychology.

This philosophical perspective then drives its subsequent chapters: creating a compelling case for conducting a study, conducting a solid literature review, stating your research hypotheses clearly, choosing a research method judiciously, deciding on a research sample appropriate to the study, cleaning and analyzing your data in a principled manner, and identifying a journal and target audience. Landers and Behrend emphasize that careful planning underlies all the above components of one's research strategy (e.g., preregistration, IRB approval, pilot testing, revising a paper). The concluding chapter, in fact, provides a checklist of these components, so that all I-O psychologists can take a systematic approach to their research (and to avoid common pitfalls). The book chapters contain other checklists that I hope readers will find to be as valuable as I did (e.g., developing a survey, cleaning data, conducting a meta-analysis).

Overall, Landers and Behrend convey their deep knowledge and experience in a highly accessible, informative--and yes, humorous--manner. You will greatly benefit from reading this book if you are a graduate student, faculty member, or practitioner who wants to improve how they conduct, interpret, use, and critically discuss research in I-O psychology. It is not a stretch to say this book is a tool for I-O psychologists to provide greater benefit to workers, teams, organizations--and by no large stretch, society."
