Description:
Meta-analysis is a tool that researchers use to assess the cumulative evidence regarding key theoretical relationships. In management studies, meta-analysis has been used to assess the degree, to which empirical evidence supports theory, and to build and test new theory about moderating and mediating relationships. By aggregating all prior evidence, meta-analysis permits stronger conclusions than are possible in primary studies. Thus, it is not surprising that the application of meta-analysis is on the rise. Meta-analysis encompasses a set of statistical methods to conduct a systematic, quantitative review of the literature in order to derive empirical generalizations. As such, conducting a meta-analysis might be an excellent project for a PhD student or other early career researcher having to review the literature on a particular topic.
This one-day intensive workshop will deal with methods and techniques for conducting a meta-analysis. The purpose is to train the participants to conduct a high-quality scientific meta-analysis within the broad field of management studies research. The seminar will focus on the meta-analysis research process, from problem formulation, literature search, coding of the effects, analysis, to reporting the findings.
All steps of the meta-analysis process (including the statistical analyses) will be demonstrated and practiced in assignments during the sessions. In addition, all topics will be illustrated by means of actual meta-analysis examples from various management studies disciplines. Participants will be informed about relevant literature (textbooks and journal articles) and software supporting meta-analysis projects.
