Abstract
The evolution of the textbook, Research Methods: Designing and Conducting Research with a Real-World Focus, began with the authors’ desire to provide students with the knowledge of scientific methodology and practical tools required to conduct relevant, high-quality research in both academic and professional field settings. Carrie A. Picardi and her co-author, Kevin D. Masick, are organizational psychologists with expertise in both teaching research methods and applying methods to diverse field settings and offer a unique perspective by integrating current research articles with field-specific scenarios. They draw from research methodology tactics, strategy, and constraints from practitioners across the business and social science domains. This textbook is designed to effectively bridge the gap between theory and practice by demonstrating how research is realistically conducted within an organizational setting, and providing readers with relevant, applicable examples from which to learn.
