  • 1.  Seeking exemplary meta-analyses and other exemplary studies for an OB course with an evidence-based focus

    Posted 10-30-2014 10:58
    Dear Colleagues:

    In the spring I will be teaching a course on Topics in Micro OB. I will be focusing on what the science says versus what typical OB textbooks tell us. To this end I am seeking the following:

    1. Exemplary meta-analyses  and exemplary primary research related to motivation, teams, leadership, conflict/conflict resolution, and personality or other micro areas typically covered in OB textbooks.
    2. Your favorite examples of areas in which OB textbooks recommend or support the use of a theory/practice/instrument which actually has no empirical support, or has been debunked.

    I am happy to share any information I receive. Thanks in advance for your help in building my evidence-based course.

    Hi Hannah,

    I'm not certain if you'll be covering human capital theory in your class but, in the event that you do, please see the attached meta-analysis. 

    Shameless self-promotion aside, I think this is an important study because it highlights research and methodological gaps in the entrepreneurship education literature. I hope you'll agree.

    Best,
    Jeff

    Hi Hannah,
    The attached metaanalysis on the effects of diversity on teams is a very good resource.

    Hi Hannah,

     

    Yes, Maggie's right. Here are some more references to meta-analyses on team diversity:
