Human resource departments increasingly use the
statistical analysis of performance indicators as a
way of demonstrating their contribution to
organisational performance. In this book, Steve
Fleetwood and Anthony Hesketh take issue with this
`scientific` approach by arguing that its preoccupation
with statistical analysis is misplaced because it fails
to take account of the complexities of organisations
and the full range of issues that influence individual
performance. The book is split into three parts. Part I
deconstructs research into the alleged link between
people and business performance by showing that it
cannot explain the associations it alleges. Part II
attributes these shortcomings to the importation of
spurious `scientific` methods, before going on to
suggest more appropriate methods that might be
used in future. Finally, Part III explores how HR
executives and professionals understand their work
and shows how a critical realist stance adds value to
this understanding through enhanced explanation.isbn-9780521263382
