  • 1.  Secondary Data Sources in OB?

    Posted 02-03-2010 19:33

    Greetings OB-net!   I have a doctoral student asking about secondary data sources in OB (work for a Research Methods Class, see below).  I myself have never worked with any as most OB research utilizes primary data... Could any of you help me guide her?

    Thanks in advance,

  • 2.  Secondary Data Sources in OB?

    Linda:

    I've used the following data sets (note that there are multiple data sets associated with the NLS), but both of these are publicly available. These data sets have variables like personality, attitudes, demographics, job satisfaction, etc., all things that OB researchers are often interested in.


    Hope this helps:
