SUMMARY:Connecting Research Ideas to Methodological Choices
DESCRIPTION:A core skill in developing a dissertation or research project is learning to align your research questions with the methods that allow you to answer them convincingly. This requires moving beyond a list of preferred techniques and instead tracing the logic from your theoretical aim to the design features that best capture the phenomena you hope to study. What kind of evidence would let you test your mechanisms? Do you need control\, realism\, or a way to capture change over time? Are you working at the individual\, team\, or organizational level\, and what does that mean for measurement and sampling? The goal is to view methods as tools that flow naturally from a well-specified idea\, which strengthens both the rigor and persuasiveness of the final project.\nPanelists: \n\nDr. Don Kluemper\, Texas Tech University\nDr. Samantha Anderson\, Arizona State University\nDr. Zhen Zhang\, Southern Methodist University

SUMMARY:Use of Control Variables in Dissertation Research
DESCRIPTION:Management dissertation projects are primarily designed to test theory-related hypotheses between independent and dependent variables. It is well understood that “control” variables play an important role in these projects\, as their use can eliminate alternative explanations for results and increase confidence in study findings. Although decisions to include control variables have historically seemed simple\, recent research has shown their use can introduce less obvious complexities to study design and analysis. In this panel session\, authors of recent research on control variables will share their views and provide guidance on when and how to best use control variables in dissertation studies. \nPanelists: \n\nDr. Herman Aguinis\nDr. Paul Spector\nDr. Michael Sturman
