*Apologies for any cross-postings*
If you are attending AOM next month and are currently involved or interested in being involved as a member of a cross-national data collection team, please join us in our PDW to learn and share experiences with both experts and novices in this challenging form of research design:
Addressing the Challenges of Large Scale, Cross-national Survey Data Collection
Program Session: 24 | Submission: 10107 | Sponsor(s): (HR, IM, RM)
Scheduled: Friday, Aug 4 2017 8:00AM - 9:30AM at Hilton Atlanta in Room 215
We will be discussing the principles of cross-national research, and hearing from established projects such as Cranet (on HRM – presented by Hilla Perez), 5C Project (on careers – presented by Wolfgang Mayrhofer & Emma Parry), INTREPID (on MNEs – presented by Jonathan Lavelle), and a new project, the AOM HR Ambassadors' Global Work Design Study (presented by Michal Biron & Elaine Farndale). Following the presentations there will be roundtable discussions, and networking with the opportunity to join cross-national research projects.
Topics to be covered include:
• establishing collaborators: how to decide on who you should work with in the project, how to set expectations and manage relationships;
• finding funding: what funding sources are available for such large-scale projects, and whether funding is necessary;
• survey design and translation: how collaborative the research tool design should be, and the necessary processes for translating tools;
• data collection procedures: how data collection can vary between countries, and the necessity (or not) of similar procedures across countries;
• creating international datasets: how to handle combining data collected across multiple countries, including data cleaning;
• dissemination of data and results: how to decide how combined data is stored and disseminated;
• authorship: how to establish guidelines around who may publish from the combined data, and the advantages/ disadvantages of having potentially very large author lists;
• longitudinal designs: how to run research projects on an on-going basis, collecting data at multiple times;
• project management: how to deal with manifest and latent issues such as leadership, project life cycle, micro-management, and growth and decline of membership;
• ethical considerations in conducting cross-national research;
• getting published: how to publish from large-scale datasets, handling large datasets with cross-national dimensions.
We look forward to seeing you there! (No pre-registration required.)
