Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A field study involves collecting data from employees in their actual work setting, which is the case in research conducted in an actual organization with real employees. Surveys can also be conducted in a field study, but they do not necessarily have to be. Lab studies involve artificially manipulated conditions and are not conducted in real work settings. Meta-analytic studies involve statistical analysis of prior research studies and do not involve collecting data from actual employees in a specific organization.
