Effective In-House Personnel Research Units: Findings from Six U.K. Case Studies

Abstract

More needs to be known about the conditions under which in-house personnel research units make an impact on organizational problem-solving processes. This article attempts to identify the key variables by using a common framework to study six diverse units. A model is presented to highlight the main findings, and suggestions are made as to how a more quantitative study could operationalize the variables in the model.
