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.

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.

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.

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.

In this meta reaction paper, I reflect on the initial paper by Wang and Doty (2022a), the two responses (Russ-Eft, 2022; Yoon, 2022), and the final response-to-respondents (Wang & Doty, 2022b). I focus on two observations that stood out for me, encompassing: (1) how HRD is defined; (2) what HRD should contribute to and to what extent the initial authors’ theorizing of HRD is actually “emancipatory.” First, I conclude that Wang and Doty’s systems perspective leaves little room for the individual agency and legitimate interests that various stakeholders have around the ways in which employee learning is organized. Connected with this, their treatment of “the mainstream HRD literature” is not convincing, which limits the rationale for and contribution of their own theorizing efforts. Second, I conclude that Wang and Doty’s work violates the ethical core of HRD and, moreover, falls short of being about “emancipatory theorizing” as they claim.

We present a systematic review of 48 studies conducted between March 2020 and March 2022 that examined work-life balance (WLB) among those who worked from home. We propose a conceptual framework that organizes the antecedents and outcomes of WLB based on resource loss and gain. Resource loss occurred when employees faced stressors such as perceived work intensity, workspace limitations, technostress, professional isolation, work interdependence, housework intensity, care work intensity, and emotional demands. Resource gain was likely when employees were supported by resources such as work supervisors and family members, received job autonomy, and were personally adaptable. Our findings have resonance for remote work contexts beyond the pandemic by seeking patterns across the literature that examined WLB while working from home. We contextualize antecedents and outcomes of WLB and suggest stressors and resources that impact WLB are dynamically related. Our review informs HRD practitioners as they manage the post-pandemic remote work.

We offer our response to the two Invited Reaction papers that identify interesting and legitimate challenges to our theorizing study. In the sense-making process of interpreting the critiques, we discovered that the challenges were rooted in deeper issues related to broader theory building processes and approaches. Thus, our response is particularly focused on exploring how these challenges may inform and guide future theorizing efforts. We organize our response in four primary aspects raised: (1) generalizing from small N samples, (2) singularity in the unit of theory, (3) challenges associated with typological theories, and (4) challenges in the theoretical specification process. We hope that our theorizing and the ongoing dialogues establish a solid starting point that identifies promising opportunities for future human resource development research and generates more interest that other scholars will extend our theorizing and validation efforts.

Scholars of human resources development (HRD) and related fields should stay abreast of mixed methods research developments to advance their scholarship. In support this idea, two companion works published in Human Resources Development Review (Hitchcock & Newman, 2013; Newman & Hitchcock, 2011) were offered to help HRD scholars embrace the concept of mixed methods research. It is now approaching 10 years since the second of these two articles was published and, since then, there have been important mixed methods research updates that can facilitate HRD inquiry. This article therefore contributes to Human Resources Development Review’s Instructor’s Corner by reviewing: (a) updates in paradigmatic thinking that support the use of mixed methods, (b) new approaches to integration, and (c) legitimation approaches that offer a validity framework for understanding mixed methods design quality. These three descriptions include discussion around how they might be applied in HRD research.
