  Abstract: Human Resource Development Review, Ahead of Print.
  In response to the increasing difficulty of obtaining high quality peer reviews, our invited paper describes the concept of review avoidance and why this phenomenon occurs. In reaffirming the professional responsibilities and potential benefits of reviewing, we also emphasize the interdependent nature of the ideal peer review process. We suggest that the review process is a three-way street where the respective roles and responsibilities of authors, editors and editorial teams, and reviewers are inextricably linked. We present thematic illustrations of undesirable reviewer comments, and a brief synthesis of broad themes in the literature on high-quality reviewing. The synthesis is complemented by a master reviewer’s fine-grained perspective on crafting high quality reviews. A final Appendix presents additional sources that may be informative for prospective reviewers, submitting authors, and those mentors and colleagues who may wish to provide guidance and training to them.

  Abstract: Human Resource Development Review, Ahead of Print.
  In the last few decades, there has been a proliferation of qualitative methodologies and methods. Within HRD, however, there has been a persistent use of particular kinds of qualitative methodologies and methods, with limited degrees of methodological innovation. In this article, we overview the literature on qualitative methodological innovation and overview the kinds of innovation that have been engaged within HRD. To move the field forward, we introduce a new design framework, which we suggest is a useful decision-making tool to guide a scholar in making research design choices as they consider innovative research designs.

  Abstract: Human Resource Development Review, Ahead of Print.
  In recent years, a significant interest on the relevance of well-being has spurred dialog at every level -- from mundane everyday conversations about how we are feeling, to broader discussions related to the well-being of our communities and society. Joining a conversation about well-being is not difficult as we can talk to each other about our experiences. Recognizing commonalities in well-being experiences brings us together and gives shared purpose and meaning. For example, within the Academy of Human Resource Development (AHRD), we must continue to focus on the well-being of our members, stakeholders, and broad audiences we serve. Clearly, the efforts we undertake as HRD practitioners and researchers can only enhance the relevance and importance of well-being research and practice. Below, I share key academic conversations concerning well-being, and how HRD can promote greater exchange of ideas, and enhance our collective knowledge both in research and practice.

  Abstract: Human Resource Development Review, Ahead of Print.
  I share the results of my learning journeys as Editor of Human Resource Development Review (HRDR) and Human Resource Development Quarterly (HRDQ). I begin by sharing my experiences at both journals, followed by Lessons Learned, Advice and Implications for Editors, Advice and Implications for
  Authors and Doctoral Students, and Final Thoughts. Rigor, relevance, replicability, and refutability (four Rs) are put forth as major considerations for a quality journal and attaining and improving a Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) factor score. Having a developmental orientation toward prospective authors and a strong, active Editorial Board are highlighted as being vital for building the visibility and reputation of the journal. Social media as a visibility tool is also explored.

  Abstract: Human Resource Development Review, Ahead of Print.
  Embracing new and innovative qualitative methods has helped researchers in a number of fields to access aspects of the lived experience that traditional methods cannot easily reach. This paper explores the use and value of one such method – ‘rich pictures’: a technique whose origins lie in ‘soft systems’ engineering but which has been successfully applied in a broader range of contexts in recent years including health, medicine and education. Despite its use in these disciplines, however, recent studies suggest that HRD research continues to rely on established methods and that uptake of visual methods – and ‘rich pictures’ in particular – is virtually non-existent. The aim of this paper therefore is to shed light on this underused method and encourage HRD researchers to recognize its potential for studying human development.

  Abstract: Human Resource Development Review, Ahead of Print.
  As employee preferences change and organizations adapt and transform as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, new research opportunities are present for HRD scholars interested in training and development, organizational behavior, job design, change management, the creation of healthy and productive workplaces, and more. In the face of new opportunities for research, we discuss the value of revisiting grounded theory methodology as a resource for generating theory in HRD contexts. As a methodology, grounded theory is a useful tool for exploring processes and building theory grounded in data. In this paper, we examine the potential of grounded theory to contribute meaningfully to the research and practice of HRD by discussing the historical development of grounded theory, the current state of grounded theory research in HRD, and the implications of grounded theory work on the future of HRD scholarship.

  Abstract: Human Resource Development Review, Ahead of Print.
  Using literature reviews to identify new research avenues and provide novel theoretical insights is increasing, with the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) recently gaining greater attention from human resource development scholarship. Analyzing and making sense of literature can be insightful, but also daunting as it involves organizing and analyzing vast amounts of articles and data. Computer-Aided/Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis (CAQDAS) software can be used to support this process by organizing the literature to enable more fine-grained analysis, support analytical coding, explore patterns in the literature, and check for coding consistency. In this instructor’s corner we explain and illustrate some of the CAQDAS analysis actions that can support researchers with their SLRs.

  Abstract: Human Resource Development Review, Ahead of Print.
  To date, the study of how health and wellbeing are actualized in organizations and how an organization’s interactional practices shape an environment that is potentially harmful to health is understudied. Much of the research around this topic has centered on personality and individual differences, as well as health and safety or ergonomics. Little understanding exists of how interactional practices might serve to prioritize health and wellbeing. In this paper, we introduce discursive psychology (DP) – a qualitative approach to studying talk and text that focuses on examining what is accomplished through people’s interactional practices. We provide an overview of DP and discuss its underlying assumptions, analytic process, and quality measures. To illustrate the application of DP to HRD, we include data extracts that highlight the impact of question design. To conclude, we point to how DP might afford HRD scholars opportunities to generate new theoretical understandings about organizational practices.

  Abstract: Human Resource Development Review, Ahead of Print.
  Despite growing numbers of qualitative research studies published in human resource development (HRD), there is a limited scope of qualitative methodologies applied. When it comes to qualitative data analysis, coding-based analysis is the go-to analytical method in HRD. This article introduces diffractive analysis, a concept for data analysis that encourages new ways to consider the entanglement between data, theories, researchers, and the researched. This paper introduces the philosophical foundation of diffractive analysis that challenges reflection as the prominent metaphor for inquiry in HRD research and practice. Examples from empirical studies are presented to illustrate how data and theory can be read diffractively into each other to produce different knowledge in HRD. The differences diffractive analysis can potentially make in HRD include engaging with research philosophically, analyzing data diffractively, developing a performative understanding of the field, and strengthening researcher-practitioner partnership.

  Abstract: Human Resource Development Review, Ahead of Print.
  This article discusses the philosophical foundations of phenomenology and their relevance for research. A return to the foundations is warranted because of the popularity of phenomenology as a methodological choice in Human Resource Development (HRD). At the same time, there is concern that the groundbreaking philosophical premises of phenomenology are being lost in favor of functionalist misapplications of the method. Phenomenology offers a powerful critique of positivism and provides a way of inquiring into central qualities of human beings and of being human in this world. It focuses on core dimensions of lived experience beneath the surface of everyday life and proposes an approach to deeper understanding and insight. As a research method, phenomenology is grounded in profound and complex philosophical thought. Researchers adopting phenomenology are well advised to move beyond method-focused textbooks and engage with the movement’s primary literature, especially the writing of its founders, Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger.

  Abstract: Human Resource Development Review, Ahead of Print.
  This paper argues for recognition of Netnography as a necessary methodological innovation for HRD research, enabling the field to address emerging research questions and contribute to theory building at the intersection of technology, work and social life. The paper defines ‘netnography’ and introduces its key methodological underpinnings; illustrates its application and procedures; and considers its benefit to HRD research. We identify three opportunities where Netnography can deliver important advances to HRD theory and practice: investigating hard-to-access online work contexts, such as gig work and other forms of precarious working; exploring marginalised, ‘hidden’, or under-researched voices in online spaces; and extending knowledge of learning in hybrid work environments where physical and digital dimensions are intertwined. We conclude with a call to action by HRD scholars to take forward, and further develop, the Netnographic methodology to contribute to new and inclusive theorizing as a basis for advancements in HRD scholarship and practice.

  Abstract: Human Resource Development Review, Ahead of Print.
  Scholars have long advocated the use of evidence, particularly quantitative evidence, to guide program improvement efforts in the field of human resource development. Yet, there is also widespread recognition that quantitative data has limitations and that new sources of information are useful. The purpose of this article is to consider the use of qualitative evidence to support program improvement efforts within the field of human resource development (HRD). Specifically, the article describes how HRD professionals might design and conduct empathy interviews, a technique widely used in improvement research, to produce a compelling theory of practice that can be used to support program improvement activities. Empathy interviews are thus positioned as a valuable but under-utilized form of qualitative data in the field. As such, the article describes a design process that considers how to select a perspective, structure the conversation, and analyze data. The completion of this process has implications for the development of HRD theory because it shifts the focus from a program-to user-centered understanding of practice.

  Abstract: Human Resource Development Review, Ahead of Print.
  This article describes how to develop, conduct, and write a structured literature review (SLR) and cites examples of published SLR to illustrate different perspectives on the process and contributions to the literature. We first discuss how the SLR differs from other types of reviews (i.e., integrative literature review, meta-analysis, and scoping review). Second, the process of writing an SLR is discussed across common manuscript components: (1) the research problem, (2) conceptual or theoretical framework, (3) method, (4) findings and discussion, and (5) implications. Finally, we offer implications for how the SLR can be effectively leveraged in human resource development.

  Abstract: Human Resource Development Review, Ahead of Print.
  Qualitative research can be used to accomplish a variety of purposes for HRD scholarship, particularly when researchers wish to deeply understand the perspectives and experiences of individuals or groups of people. Given the infinite variety of research aims, there are necessarily multiple approaches to qualitative research. Because many qualitative research methods employ similar data collection strategies, such as interviews and observations, and outputs may appear similar (e.g. a collection of interrelated themes), the important differences among qualitative approaches can become muddy or lost. Making choices about approach, building an appropriate, corresponding design, and describing methods is an ongoing challenge for qualitative researchers in HRD and beyond. This article provides an accessible overview and comparison of select qualitative approaches in HRD, both traditional and emerging, to clarify decision-making in research design, guide methodological alignment, and explore the distinct contribution each approach can make for developing theory and practice in HRD.

  Abstract: Human Resource Development Review, Ahead of Print.
  While software packages such as NVivo are typically considered useful for qualitative data analysis, in actuality they are powerful and flexible enough to serve as the central component of a robust digital research workflow. Various features of these packages can be used across the entire research process from reviewing the literature to writing up the study’s findings. This article provides an overview of available qualitative data analysis software (QDAS) packages, including how to: use software tactics to enact research design strategies; select an appropriate QDAS package; report the use of software in the research report; and consider implications of QDAS use for human resource development scholars.
